Are some benzos harder to taper off of than others?

[[Ma...]]

I think there is no scientific evidence for ‘the hardest’ benzo to taper. There are so many individual factors: halflife, own metabolism, genes (CYP…), interdose withdrawal (yes/no/coping), way if switching (slow/rapid/conversion mg), sensitivity to side effects, symptoms you prefer to deal with, underlying conditions, comorbidity etc.

As time goes by science is more on: staying on the benzo you got dependant on and deal with interdose withdrawal, rather than switching over to Valium. 

 

(other example: Ashton converts 1mg Lora to 10mg Valium, in the Netherlands we convert to 5mg Valium. Seems most people do okay, but you have to do it slowly in 4-5 weeks. My common sense tells me there could be less sedations/depression with a lover conversion rate than Ashton says.)
