Do benzodiazepines reduce the effectiveness of exposure therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder?
Prolonged exposure is a sufficiently robust treatment that patients who are taking benzodiazepines can benefit from it. It is unclear whether benzodiazepine use or other patient factors accounted for benzodiazepine recipients' poorer maintenance of gains in present-centered psychotherapy.
Alcohol consumption and a concomitant hepatitis C virus infection apparently facilitate the development of hepatitis.
