Typical dosage for Chlordiazepoxide

Your dose depends on the reason you’re using Chlordiazepoxide, your age, and your medical conditions.

  • Preoperative anxiety and anxiety disorders: The dose ranges from 5 mg to 25 mg by mouth up to 4 times a day. For procedure-related anxiety, your provider might only instruct you to take Chlordiazepoxide for a few days leading up to the procedure.
  • Alcohol withdrawal: The typical starting dose is 50 mg to 100 mg by mouth, followed by repeated doses as needed up to 300 mg per day. Your provider will lower your dose slowly overtime, based on your response.
