Chlordiazepoxide dosages of upto 250mg daily may be prescribed in alcohol detox. More typically, doses of 120mg to 160mg chlordiazpoxide daily are prescribed as starting doses in this context. Starting doses of less than 80mg chlordiazepoxide daily may lead to unnecessary risk of development of damaging or fatal alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Typically, chlordiazepoxide is reduced in dosage at a rate of 10-20mg daily through the alcohol detox process.
