🚨 The 2-Week Window: Peak Danger After Medication Changes

The first 2 weeks after STARTING or INCREASING a FRID = highest fall risk.

Why:
• Body hasn't adapted to drug effects
• Side effects at peak intensity
• Patients unaware of their impairment

The patient on lorazepam for years has adapted. The patient who started it yesterday is in the danger zone.

Any FRID change in past 14 days = heightened precautions.
