•Postpartum women prescribed more benzodiazepine during COVID
78% Informative
New research suggests the COVID-19 pandemic may have had an unexpected side effect for postpartum women.
Benzodiazepines, also known as benzos, are sometimes used as a stopgap during the month it takes for an SSRI to start working.
Benzos are n’t a substitute for SSRIs; they carry significant risks of dependence and abuse.
More than seven out of every 10 women who give birth via C-section are prescribed opioids for pain management.
Previous research shows that opioid prescriptions for postpartum women increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But combining opioids with benzos can be deadly, the researchers say.
