Start withdrawing the patient on diazepam (Valium), 15 to 25 mg four times daily. Administer sufficient additional diazepam to suppress signs of increased withdrawal (e.g., increased pulse, increased blood pressure, or increased perspiration). Once a diazepam dose is reached which suppresses signs of withdrawal, continue for 2 days then start decreasing by 10% per day. When the diazepam dose approaches 10%, reduce the dose slowly over 3 to 4 days and then discontinue
