benzodiazepines withdrawal short term use
can you get benzodiazepines withdrawal symptoms from using a low dose only once every other day or two?

It really depends on how long you have been taking them. If you have taken it on and off every few days for like 6 months yes you can. I have been on that kind of medicine for 2 years and I ran out for a week and god the withdrawal was bad, I ended up in the psych ward because the panic attacks were so bad that I would do anything to avoid them. I ended up cutting my arm up and I walked a mile into town in the dark on a busy highway to a gas station where a sheriffs deputy saw me and called the hospital and had me ambulanced to the er then the ward. be careful when getting off them. And monitor your heart. mine beat 196 beats when i came off. Please be careful

It depends on which benzo you are talking about. Klonopin has a long half life and you won't start the withdraws for 2 days after you stop. If you are talking like xanax or ativan or valium then the withdraws will start to kick in with in a few hours after they wear off.

It depends - how long are we talking here? Like months of use? Years of use? Either way - even with a few weeks of use you may possibly get a little anxious or depressed. I got depressed when I ran out of my prescrip and I was on that for 3 months.
But it didn't last long, you'll be fine.
