Creditability and Appropriateness of Lorazepam and Gabapentin
This paper provides an analysis of two juried studies as follows to determine the efficacy of using lorazepam or gabapentin for alcohol detoxification:
Study No. 1: Spiegel, D. R, Kumari, N. & Petri, J. D. (2012, October). Safer use of benzodiazepines for alcohol detoxification: To avoid excessive dosing, be alert for falsely elevated CIWA-Ar scores. Current Psychiatry, 11(10), 10-19.
Study No. 2: Spiegel, D. R. & Radac, D. (2010, April). Alcohol withdrawal: When to choose an adjunctive anticonvulsant. Current Psychiatry, 9(4), 26-33.
The analysis concludes that gabapentin is best used in conjunction with lorazepam.
