Comparison of two benzodiazepines in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal: effects on symptoms and cognitive recovery.

B Ritson, J Chick.   

Abstract

Forty newly admitted alcohol-dependent patients were randomly allocated to equivalent 6-day regimes of either lorazepam or diazepam, to compare involvement in physical, emotional and cognitive state during the first 8 days in hospital. Diazepam provided a more comfortable withdrawal period and was associated with slightly better cognitive functioning on the eighth day.
