-Abstract-
Drugs of the benzodiazepine family pharmacologically have superior anti-anxiety,
sedative, anti-convulsant, and muscle relaxant effect resulting in its popular use not only
in psychiatry but in other field of medicine. However, the long term use of
benzodiazepines may cause to question the efficacy and may amount of dependence,
tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms thus leading to sociologic problems. The treatment
strategies of benzodiazepine dependence consist of gradual dosage reduction, the
substitution to a long half-life benzodiazepine, and providing psychological support. We
present two treatment experiences of high dose lorazepam dependence along with the
review of corresponding literature.
