Nurses,

Have you ever had a patient become disinhibited with a benzo (e.g., ativan)? I know it happens in patients with mental issues around 13% but it was the first time that I saw it. Have you seen this before? Or is it more common that I think?

Yep pretty common side effect with the elderly and even with younger patients
