Benzodiazepines such as alprazolam, clonazepam, lorazepam are frequently employed to treat acute anxiety related disorders. Depending on the source of literature, most authorities state that benzodiazepines should not be used beyond 4-6 weeks (some even argue to limit their usage to 2-4 weeks).
Would you consider a gradual dose reduction even after a therapeutic course of 4-6 weeks? If yes, for how long would you perform the dose tapering?
