Stopping benzodiazepines or z-drugs
The College has worked with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to produce a patient decision aid on stopping benzodiazepines or z-drugs. This patient decision aid looks at:
- what benzodiazepines and z-drugs are
- why someone might want to stop taking them
- the options available
- choosing the best time to stop or reduce benzodiazepines or z-drugs
- what reducing or stopping might involve
- what else can help.
You can read the full patient decision aid or the summary document, or find out more at the link below.
