Managing benzodiazepine withdrawal during pregnancy: case-based guidelines [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Substance use disorders during pregnancy pose serious risks for both the mother and the fetus, demanding careful monitoring by the patient’s medical providers. Sedative-hypnotic use, in particular, is common but remains poorly studied. Management of withdrawal from chronic benzodiazepine use during pregnancy presents unique challenges to the treating physician. We present two pregnant patients with dependence on sedative-hypnotic agents, outline principles of benzodiazepine withdrawal, and suggest guidelines for detoxification during pregnancy.
