May cause sedation, impaired alertness and risk of falls—avoid driving/operating machinery. Risk of dependence, abuse and withdrawal (including seizures) especially with high doses/long use; taper gradually. Use with caution in elderly, depression/suicidal ideation, respiratory disease (COPD/sleep apnea), liver impairment, and history of substance use disorder. Avoid in myasthenia gravis and severe respiratory insufficiency unless specifically advised. Seek urgent care for allergic reaction, severe sleepiness, breathing difficulty, confusion or unusual behavior.

Alcohol and other CNS depressants (opioids, sedatives, antihistamines) increase sedation/respiratory depression; opioids may be fatal.
