Benzodiazepines require special precaution if used in children and in alcohol- or drug-dependent individuals. Particular care should be taken in pregnant or elderly people, people with substance use disorder history (particularly alcohol dependence), and people with comorbid psychiatric disorders. The use of<unk>  should be avoided or carefully monitored by medical professionals in individuals with: myasthenia gravis, acute narrow-angle glaucoma, severe liver deficiencies (e.g., cirrhosis), severe sleep apnea, pre-existing respiratory depression, marked neuromuscular respiratory, acute pulmonary insufficiency, chronic psychosis, hypersensitivity or allergy to<unk>  or other benzodiazepines, and borderline personality disorder (where it may induce suicidality and dyscontrol). Like all central nervous system depressants,<unk>  in larger-than-normal doses can cause significant deterioration in alertness and increase drowsiness, especially in those unaccustomed to the drug's effects. Elderly individuals should be cautious in the use of<unk>  due to the possibility of increased susceptibility to side-effects, especially loss of coordination and drowsiness.
