Studies have suggested a genetic risk for euphoric response to benzodiazepines in those
with alcohol use disorders and their offspring. Pat seems to drink regularly. Among
benzodiazepine users, 17.1 % misuse the drug and 2% have a use disorder; and most
people do not find their effects inherently reinforcing Patients who have become
physiologically dependent iatrogenically via adherence with medical treatment (e.g., for
panic disorder, generalized anxiety) should not on that basis alone be considered to
have a substance use disorder. Buspirone is a serotonin 5-HT1a partial agonist that is
ineffective for benzodiazepine withdrawal and for most cases of anxiety in patients with a
history of benzodiazepine use disorder.
