❌ Myth: "Short-acting benzos (lorazepam) are safer than long-acting (diazepam)"

✅ Reality: DOSE matters more than half-life

Factor	Impact on Fall Risk
High dose	Strong predictor
Frequency of dosing	Significant
Half-life	Less important

A high dose of ANY benzo — short or long-acting — increases fall risk.

Don't be reassured by short half-life when the dose is high.
