It depends on the dosage but 450-600mg for 6 month are enough to get severely withdrawn if stopped without taper.
If tapered it's fine as long as you do it in a couple of months, just as you would do with high dosed benzos. Just that it is a different kind of withdrawal..
In therapeutic doses I think it is fine, but have that in mind at least.
I to think that diazepam in its original dosing should be more common as it is the easiest to stop with even at a fairly high dose.
