    Author: Wong CP, Chiu PK, Chu LW.
    Journal: Age Ageing; 2005 Sep; 34(5):526-7. PubMed ID: 16107464.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of an elderly lady who was admitted for congestive heart failure. She developed delirium during the course of her hospital stay. Multiple investigations were performed but were unremarkable. Finally, a diagnosis of abrupt zopiclone withdrawal causing delirium was made. Zopiclone was resumed at a lower dose and delirium resolved completely.
