You should consult your doctor to gradually reduce your dose, as stopping benzodiazepines abruptly may cause withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, or seizures. Supportive therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy, counselling, or group support can help manage cravings, address underlying issues, and reduce the risk of relapse.
