So, clobazam just became approved in the US under the name Onfi. Wikipedia says it isn't a true benzodiazepine, other sources say it is. What is it? And if anyone has experience with it, please share. Is it benzo-like in effects, which other benzos is it comparable to? I have a feeling this is going to become a popular drug of recreation in the US.
 
Haven't tried this, but looking at the structrures:

Clobazam:

Benzodiazepine general structure:

So you can see that there are a few nitrogens, oxygens out of place. From what I can gather though, this shouldn't make much difference in its effects, and for all intents and purposes, can be treated the same as most benzos, similar to the Z-drugs (though the Z drugs are probably more dissimilar)
 
I just got prescribed 10, 10mg Urbonal (Clobazam). I stay in South Africa and was trying to get something for my phobia of flying, so the doctor gave me these. I said they probably won't work, so he gave me some Ativan too. I haven't tried them out yet but I am tweaking on some crystal at the moment and 1 of these Clobazam pills took away a lot of the tension and a bit of anxiety I had...

According to my doctor he said they prescribe it for anxiety and depression. I Don't have a benzo tolerance at all but have tried Alprazolam,Clonazepam,Diazepam,Lorazepam,Midazolam and Etizolam.

I feel no buzz of any kind really but it has taken away the anxiety I had and it seems to have a long half-life according to Wiki.
When I am sober I will take 1 or 2 pills and see if I feel anything significant or recreational in the sense of stress relief,muscle relaxation etc.
Although it states Clobazam has mainly anxiolytic effects and is helpful with seizures.
 
Please continue reporting with your experience. I appreciate it.
Ive got a stupid Benzo tolerance yet 200mg Clobazam has me feeling nice.

Apparently 20mg Clobazam = 10mg Diazepam which is the Benzo i mostly use so IMO/IME 200mg Clobazam makes me feel a lot nicer than 100mg Diazepam.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but i didnt really feel the need to start a new thread.
 
Old thread, closing. Cheers for the info pally, thread will still come up for anyone searching about the drug.
