| Abstract | Long-term regular benzodiazepine (BZD) use is common in patients attending psychiatric clinics. Few studies have assessed the natural outcome of the group of long-term BZD users. During a 2 weeks initial study period in December 1991 with patients attending the general psychiatric out-patient clinic of the Department of Psychiatry, Queen Mary Hospital, the authors assessed a group of subjects who were taking BZD regularly for more than 6 months. Three years later, they performed a follow-up assessment on their use of BZD. They stressed the need to review the use of BZD regularly in this group of long-term BZD users. Further explanation and analysis are provided in this article. |
