MOA: Potentiate effects of GABA (Remember GABA is inhibitory) → drowsiness, cognitive impairment, dampening of fear and anxiety, impaired balance, motor control, muscle tone and coordination, anterograde amnesia.
Clinical considerations regarding benzodiazepines (risks).
- Increased fall risk, hip fracture risk
- consider nonaddictive anxiolytic alternatives (e.g. gabapentin and antihistamines with anxiolytic properties (e.g. diphenhydramine or hydroxyzine)
- Benzodiazepines may interfere with the psychological processes needed to benefit from CBT
- high rate of comorbid substance use disorders and lack of efficacy.
- note that these patients have depressive symptoms and hence ECT can be considered as a viable option especially in combination with psychotherapy.
Increased fall risk, hip fracture risk
