Hi everyone,

Could someone please tell me how long it usually takes for someone to become dependent on Diazepam?

Thanks for any info.

Diazepam Dependency

Hi lapis,

According to the world-renowned article The Ashton Manual:

Quote:
Dependence.

Benzodiazepines are potentially addictive drugs: psychological and physical dependence can develop within a few weeks or months of regular or repeated use. There are several overlapping types of benzodiazepine dependence.

 

See the entire article in Chapter 1 of The Ashton Manual.
