Q

Effects of benzodiazepine use and SE

A

Enhance activity of GABA at GABA-A receptor

  • Potential for abuse and addiction
  • Patient become physical dependent and build tolerance
  • Can be used to treat Akathisia
  • Choice of BDZ depends on time of onset, duration of action and method of metabolism
    OTL= Outside The Liver (oxazepam, temazepam, lorazepam) = not metabolized by
    the liver
  • S/E: Anticholinergic, unusual behaviors, hallucinations, daytime drowsiness,
    amnesia
