Can valium help with tramadol withdrawal?

Question

have been taking tramadol 100mg 4x daily for about 5 yrs would like to lessen dosage without severe withdrawal

Answer 1

Bezodiazepines, particularly diazepam (Valium), are sometimes used to partly relieve symptoms of withdrawals from opiates, including partial opiates like tramadol. However, bezodiazepines themselves can produce tolerance and may lead to withdrawal problems of their own.

Gnenerally speaking, managing withdrawal symptoms, especially  thru pharmacological means, should be done under a supervision of a physician.
