<b> Use Particular Caution When Prescribing Opioid Pain Medication and Benzodiazepines or Other CNS Depressants Concurrently:</b> Consider whether the benefits outweigh the risks of concurrently prescribing opioids and benzodiazepines, or other central nervous system depressant medications.

[For patients being treated for opioid use disorder who are also taking benzodiazepines or other medications that depress the central nervous system, the CDC recommends not withholding buprenorphine or methadone](https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/rr/rr7103a1.htm#:~:text=gabapentin%20and%20pregabalin).-,Buprenorphine%20or%20methadone%20for%20opioid%20use%20disorder%20should%20not%20be%20withheld%20from%20patients%20taking%20benzodiazepines%20or%20other%20medications%20that%20depress%20the%20central%20nervous%20system.,-Clinicians%20should%20check).
If the decision is made to taper benzodiazepine medications, [the CDC recommends tapering benzodiazepines gradually prior to discontinuation](https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/rr/rr7103a1.htm#:~:text=Clinicians%20should%20taper%20benzodiazepines%20gradually%20before%20discontinuation%20because%20abrupt%20withdrawal%20can%20be%20associated%20with%20rebound%20anxiety%2C%20hallucinations%2C%20seizures%2C%20delirium%20tremens%2C%20and%2C%20rarely%2C%20death.%20The%20rate%20of%20tapering%20should%20be%20individualized).<br/>
