This medication should not be taken together with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants as it can cause severe drowsiness, respiratory distress, and decreased heart function. Moreover, using it with narcotics can be very dangerous and should only be used at the minimum effective dose for a short period when absolutely necessary, with careful monitoring for respiratory depression or sedation. Patients with acute glaucoma, severe myasthenia gravis, severe respiratory failure, infants under 6 months, sleep apnea syndrome, patients with alcohol or drug dependence, and patients with severe liver dysfunction should not use this medication. Patients with impaired heart, liver, or kidney function, those with brain injuries, the elderly, and patients with depression should exercise special caution when using this medication. Long-term use of this medication can lead to dependence, and discontinuing it suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, and seizures, so dosage should be reduced gradually as per doctor's instructions. Patients with mental illnesses may experience worsening anxiety or hallucinations, so changes in symptoms should be closely monitored. Drowsiness or decreased concentration may occur while taking this medication, so driving or operating hazardous machinery should be avoided. Due to many drug interactions, particularly when taken with antidepressants, narcotic analgesics, antipsychotics, etc., consultation with a physician and careful monitoring is recommended. Pregnant women in early pregnancy or nursing mothers are advised not to use this medication, and women who may become pregnant should consult a doctor. Elderly patients may experience stronger effects of the medication; therefore, they should start with the lowest dose and administer it carefully.
