Clobazam as with other [[benzodiazepine]] drugs can lead to [[physical dependence]], [[Substance dependence|addiction]], and what is known as the [[benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome]]. Withdrawal from clobazam or other benzodiazepines after regular use often leads to withdrawal symptoms which are similar to those seen during alcohol and [[barbiturate]] withdrawal. The higher the dosage and the longer the drug is taken, the greater the risk of experiencing unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Benzodiazepine treatment should only be discontinued via a slow and gradual dose reduction regimen.{{cite journal | vauthors = MacKinnon GL, Parker WA | title = Benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome: a literature review and evaluation | journal = The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse | volume = 9 | issue = 1 | pages = 19–33 | year = 1982 | pmid = 6133446 | doi = 10.3109/00952998209002608 }}
