E-drug: Re: Drug Information
---------------------------------------------
Hi,
I feel that rather than replacing the nitrazepam, continue the drug but
slowly wean him off it. It has a long half life and can be successfully
tapered over 6 weeks or so, without complicating the issue with the
addition of another Benzo, which will need to be withdrawn.
Cheers,
