Can etizolam and mirtazapine be taken together?

It is not recommended to take etizolam and mirtazapine together on your own. If symptoms such as worsening dizziness, excessive drowsiness, or difficulty breathing occur during treatment, seek medical attention promptly.

Etizolam is a benzodiazepine-class sedative-hypnotic medication primarily used for anxiety relief and sleep induction, acting on inhibitory receptors in the central nervous system. Mirtazapine is an antidepressant that improves mood by regulating neurotransmitters and also has sedative effects.

Both medications may suppress the central nervous system. When used together, their adverse effects—such as sedation, drowsiness, and dizziness—can be additive, potentially impairing respiratory function. The risk is particularly higher in patients with impaired liver or kidney function and in elderly individuals. Dosage adjustments and close monitoring by a physician are necessary.

When taking these two medications, strictly follow medical instructions; do not combine them or adjust doses without authorization. Avoid driving or operating machinery during treatment, and avoid alcohol and other central nervous system depressants. Maintain regular sleep patterns, and inform your doctor immediately if any adverse reactions occur.
