Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- It is worth noting that the hepatic catabolism of benzodiazepine is a ver 1ce2 y complex one, because it leads to derived molecules which are sometimes active and/or present in the common metabolic route of major commercial drugs.
- 9 A short-acting benzodiazepine is cleared from the body in a short period of time, whereas long-acting benzodiazepines may either accumulate in the bloodstream or take a much longer period of time to leave the body.
- As the benzodiazepine is withdrawn, the patient begins to experience symptoms of agitation and anxiety; if this isnt treated, the patient is likely to return to benzodiazepine abuse for symptomic relief.
- No epidemiological evidence is available to suggest that one benzodiazepine is more responsible for the development of dependency or withdrawal symptoms than another.
- Recently it has been suggested that the combination of SSRI and benzodiazepine is rational, because each drug has a different mechanism of action.
