Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Etirest consists of etizolam and it is a shorter acting benzodiazepine. That may be due to benzodiazepine dependence. In that case, you need longer acting benzodiazepine like diazepam to quit the etirest and then gradually taper off the diazepam. Just consult a psychiatrist for better monitoring and management.
Thanks
