Precautions and warnings
The usage of benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-like drugs can lead to physical and psychological dependence on these medications. This dependence is dependent on the dose and length of medication; it is also more common in patients with a history of alcoholism. When physical reliance has been established, stopping the treatment will result in withdrawal symptoms. Headaches, muscle discomfort, excessive anxiety, tension, bewilderment, and irritability are some of the symptoms. Because the danger of withdrawal and rebound symptoms is higher when the medication is abruptly stopped, it is recommended that the dosage be gradually reduced. Bromazepam is not indicated as a first-line treatment for insomnia brought on by the psychotic disease. Driving a car or using machinery should be done with caution.
