Benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed in primary care for anxiety disorders and insomnia. However, they can cause dependence with withdrawal symptoms that are both physical and psychological. These complications are also more common with short-acting benzodiazepines such as lorazepam. This case report describes a previously stable 62-year-old male who inflicted serious stab wounds to himself, twice within a month, during changes in his benzodiazepine regime.
苯二氮䓬类药物在初级保健中常用于治疗焦虑症和失眠症。然而,它们会导致身体和心理上的戒断症状依赖。这些并发症在如劳拉西泮等短效苯二氮䓬类药物中更为常见。本病例报告描述了一名62岁的男性,此前病情稳定,但在其苯二氮䓬类药物治疗方案改变期间,一个月内两次对自己造成严重刺伤。
