While no major differences with regard to psychopharmacological actions are to be found among the benzodiazepines, certain pharmacokinetic differences are known. These differences allow the benzodiazepines to be classified as cumulative or non-cumulative; the differences between these two groups are further dissected and evaluated, in an attempt to rationalize therapy with these agents.
