Paxipam (Halazepam) Withdrawal and Detox

Paxipam affects GABA receptors, which creates a calming effect that reduces anxiety. The brain eventually becomes used to a drug like Paxipam and, in response, the brain actually adapts and changes in response to its exposure to the drug. For example, someone who chronically uses Paxipam may not make enough of their own GABA. If the drug is taken away, the brain and body go into a type of shock. The longer someone uses Paxipam, the more likely they are to become addicted and physically dependent.

In severe cases, people experience psychosis, hallucinations or seizures when they’re going through benzodiazepine withdrawal. Rebound symptoms are common, resulting in worse symptoms than what the drug was originally used to treat. For example, if someone was taking Paxipam to treat anxiety, they may have reemerging and worsening anxiety symptoms. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can create symptoms similar to severe psychiatric conditions, such as panic disorder and agitated depression.
Paxipam withdrawal management programs usually include psychological interventions and tapering down of their dosage as well as cognitive-behavioral therapies. Specific medications that are used during benzodiazepine withdrawal can include antipsychotics, anticonvulsants and melatonin.
