Side effects of Etizolam

2022-01-24 18:25:30
Dear Sir/Ma'am,                      My grandmother used the drug named Etizolam 0.25 for 3 months.   Recently the medication was stopped but there is a side effect of confusion in location and time, imagining people who are not actually present.     Could you please advise regarding the problem.          Thanking you, Regards.

Anxiolytics need to be tapered off gradually. Abrupt discontinuation can lead to confusion. Also, considering her age medical issues need to be ruled out.
Next Steps
She needs urgent in clinic consultation with a psychiatrist

Well this is very unusual after stopping etizolam, if u have already stopped plz wait 10 days see washout effects , if it’s not the case plz do immediately MMSE and text for Serum electrolytes. There can be the root cause for her confusion.
