Join L. Joseph Parker, a research physician, as we explore a recent comparative effectiveness study that investigates the impact of discontinuing long-term benzodiazepine therapy on patients’ mortality and adverse events, especially when considering their baseline opioid exposure. Discover the key findings, implications, and the potential risks and benefits associated with benzodiazepine discontinuation in patients prescribed for stable long-term treatment.
