Q

concerns in prescribing benzodiazepenes

A

enzodiazepines-more controlled, often habit forming/addictive potential, slows everything down, safe in short term, can develop tolerance/ dependence /withdrawal including psychological dependence bc you think that’s why you can cope, not a good thing in terms of behavioral treatments (habituation), if treating anxiety you want to know if they’re on this and slowly decrease the dose, can be prescribed as needed (higher risk of psychological dependence) or on a daily basis (actual lower likelihood of dependence)

27
Q

role and concerns of prescribing stimulants

A

role in executive function (attention/focus/organization/multitasking), everyone does benefit from these not just people w/ ADHD
