摘要
The aim of this pilot study was to determine the potential of maintenance with clobazam in patients on methadone who were also benzodiazepine dependent. Five individuals were recruited and four were maintained on clobazam for a minimum of 3 months prior to reduction. Three subjects were abstinent from other benzodiazepines at 3 months. Clobazam was given as a single daily dose and was reported by the clients as less sedating than diazepam. There is potential for clobazam to be used as a maintenance benzodiazepine.
