Clin Neuropharmacol. 2021 Nov-Dec;44(6):245-246. doi: 10.1097/WNF.0000000000000480.

Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this study was to report a case of sleep online shopping.

Methods: A single case study of midazolam-induced sleep online shopping behavior in a 35-year-old woman with posttraumatic stress disorder and bipolar II disorder was performed.

Results: The Naranjo score was 7, which supported the probability of midazolam-induced sleep online shopping behaviors.

Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of parasomnia as online-shopping behaviors, induced by midazolam, in a patient with posttraumatic stress disorder and bipolar disorder. This case could serve as a reminder for the clinicians prescribing midazolam as a hypnotic for insomnia for their patients.
