I heard that its typically 25mg every 6hrs ---
I've detoxed numerous times off of alcohol both inpatient and out and it varies depending upon seizure activity and agitation. For delirium tremens (DT's, the more extreme level of alcohol withdrawal, characterized by shaking, sweating, puking, rapid rise in heart rate and blood pressure, and if untreated can lead to seizures, strokes, heart attacks.) the typical starting dose is 50MG every 4 hours, up to 100MG every 4 hours under medical supervision (And sometimes even higher with breathing support).
For mild withdrawals (Anxiety, mild tremors, upset stomach, ect) 25MG might be about right.
