Abstract
The clinical and biological correlates of gradual alprazolam withdrawal were investigated in 10 patients in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. During gradual alprazolam withdrawal, anxiety and plasma cortisol levels were higher than during a postwithdrawal medication-free period.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
