Bromazepam is a benzodiazepine medication used to treat severe anxiety or panic attacks in adults. It is typically prescribed for short-term use to provide relief from anxiety symptoms while other treatments, such as antidepressants, take effect. Bromazepam is not available in the United States but can be found in other countries.
The medication is usually given as an oral tablet, with the usual dose ranging from 6 to 18 mg per day, divided into equally spaced doses for one week. The optimal dosage range is 6 to 30 mg per day, but lower doses like 3 mg/day may be needed for debilitated or older patients.
Regular assessment by your doctor is necessary to determine if you should continue taking bromazepam, as it can lead to dependence and addiction. It is important not to stop the medication abruptly; instead, your healthcare provider will guide you on how to gradually reduce the dose to prevent withdrawal symptoms and rebound of your symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms can be mild, serious, or even deadly and may include dizziness, confusion, and irritability. If you experience any symptoms of withdrawal after changing or stopping your treatment, you should inform your doctor immediately. The risk of withdrawal is higher if you are taking bromazepam for a long time or at high doses.
