I am an experienced user of benzos (among other stuff) and i would like to give an opinion on this compound. Given flunitrazepam, triazolam and alprazolam by best benzos, i have to say that etizolam is quite different. Today i took 1 mg alprazolam, 1mg triazolam, 10 mg diazepam. Around 5 pm i was quite calm and sleepy, but tried 3 mg etizolam on top. Stunning results! Instead of getting off on bed, the etizolam woke me up and despite my large tolerance on benzos, i felt quite high with some euphoria added to a mild stoned feeling. I guess this reaction is due to the different benzo structure of etizolam, which appears to be a thienodiazepine, with mild dopamine stimulation (as read on a pharmacologic journal). I have to try it alone, but i reckon etizolam has some recreational value. I had the fantasy that mixing it with some aderall or ritalin would be a great idea. Anyway, no desire to sleep at all.
