If you attempt to detox yourself from heavy benzodiazepine medications you will most likely suffer from siezures. There is the risk of death from benzodiazepine withdrawal which makes it different from opiates where that risk is not high. Benzodiazepine tapering takes months or even years and should be done extremely slowly and under the supervision of a doctor. Also, it is important to note that the withdrawal symptoms and harmful withdrawal side affects of benzo withdrawal may not occur at times for a week so when you experience siezures, panic attacks, and other troubling side affects you may not at first realize that they are due to the benzo withdrawals just because of the time delay in the onset of the symptoms. Find a doctor to help you with this.
