Alcohol and benzos

Sorry, dumb question. Are you saying that abrupt withdrawal from the combination of those (addicted to both) can cause those symptoms and death, or either one alone can do that?

I still remember the wonderful feelings that prescription oxazepam (benzodiazepine) gave me over 30 years ago and have no doubt a person could get addicted in a hurry. Think I had ten tablets total.

Either one alone. You can in fact substitute one for the other , and in fact alcohol detox usually uses a benzo to wean you off, slowly decreasing the dose.
