Individualised Dosing for Complex Patients

Two common approaches are described: 

• Fixed dosing plus symptom triggered dosing. This may be suitable for a hospital inpatient with comorbidities to allow additional dosing if the fixed dosing regimen is insufficient. 
• Initial fixed dosing followed by symptom triggered dosing. This may be suitable for: 
  
  1. A patient at risk of complications but where these do not eventuate.  
  2. A patient presenting with anxiety and alcohol withdrawal.
