Agree. I think grammatically sedatives should be singular (“sedative withdrawal”) but ignore me if I’m wrong

No you’re right
“Sedative withdrawal can be life-threatening” would be correct

What do y’all think about moving “(e.g., alcohol, barbiturates > benzodiazepines)” to Extra?

Not opposed. However, on second thought, is it possible this card is too broad?
“____ withdrawal can be life threatening” seems very broad to me and could be answered in many ways— sedative withdrawal, opioid withdrawal, insert specific drug withdrawal. Maybe a hint would resolve this?

How’s “::substance class}}” as a hint?
Options would then be stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens

Isn’t opioids also a substance class?

I think it comes under depressants, according to FA24 and Amboss

Think this might create more issues as sedatives are not the only class of medications that can cause life-threatening withdrawal (e.g. opioids, stimulants, etc.), not the best card though

An alternative would be to formulate the card with something like “The feared complication of sedative (e.g., alcohol, barbiturates, benzodiazepines) withdrawal is {{c1::death}}”

@AnKing-Maintainers What about?

Can sedative (e.g., alcohol, barbiturates, benzodiazepines) withdrawal be life-threatening?

{{c1:Yes}}

Extra:

  • Barbiturates > benzodiazepines

According to the extra of this card and nid:1540425983277 (below), opiates don’t. and AMBOSS: https://next.amboss.com/us/article/nF07i3?q=stimulant%20withdrawal, stimulants don’t either. :man_shrugging:
