VSS symptoms after Rivotril tapering.

VRAAG

VSS symptoms after Rivotril tapering. I have been experiencing a few visual symptoms like mild static, BPEP and difficulty in focus after completing a treatment with benzos. I was told this could be from. the withdrawal and would likely go away but not by an experienced doctor.

ANTWOORD

Dear questioner,

Yes this sometimes happens. Other factors include: having noticed these visuals earlier in live, having used hallucinogens in life and anxiety in general.

Tapering should have been done very slowly, just as will be the recovery: slowly.  Acceptance and non-medicamentous measures like relaxation, breathing, and yoga are helpfull. 

Kind regards,

dr Gerard, physician in addiction medicine
