In an attempt to provide more information on this particularly interesting and legal benzodiazepine, SWIM will be assaying phenazepam for the next 3-4 weeks.
The information SWIM has noted thus far (see the bottom for the initial experience):
-Onset of roughly 60-90 minutes when taken orally.
-High oral bioavailability (roughly 80+% ).
-Active at doses between 0.5mg-4mg.
Note that SWIM has a slight tolerance to benzodiazepines, stemming from his prescribed Z-drugs (lunesta, ambien, etc). Also note that even those with a chemistry background of many years of study should NOT eyeball this substance, SWIM did not even trust himself to do so, and weighed his initial dose during organic chemistry this morning.
Experience #1:
Dosed at 12:30 on the dot, during organic chemistry lab using a microgram scale, apprx. 3mg of the substance. (A large starting dose, SWIM knows, but given tolerance with past benzos SWIM found it appropriate).
T+0:30: SWIM is feeling threshold effects at this point, a slight wobble in motion and some sedation. Most notably emotional tranquility that some may mistake for euphoria (though the drug does have some euphoria, perhaps ~50% that of a Z-drug such as Ambien). Feeling rather fine at this moment, but SWIM knew that this was only the beginning.
T+1:00: SWIM feels as if the peak is happening, or within moments of such. The noted effects are more sedation (almost doubled since T:0:30) but manageable, as well as the emotional tranquility near doubling. SO far, SWIM has had no trouble with anterograde/retrograde amnesia, but SWIM is still cautious.
T+1:30: SWIM weighed another 2mg dose, dosed on the spot. The effects have began to peak at this point, and SWIM is not completely satisfied with the effects, though dealing with people has been notably easier than without the drug. Similar to alprazolam in effects, with a perhaps 60-70% efficacy.
T+2:30: SWIM is beginning to feel the effects from the second dose, driving is still easy and inhibitions are still top notch. This drug seems to be overestimated, but still powerful. Remember to note SWIM's tolerance to benzos.
T+3:00: Eating lunch now, music seems to have an enhanced feel, almost a music euphoria reminiscent of DXM (especially in the rap/hip-hop genre). B.I.G. is a definite listen.
Still experiencing as of now, will update following my next class.
If any questions are brought up on this substance, I will answer them to the best of my ability.
Comments are welcome on SWIM's assay of this substance, and SWIM will continue to report more experiences to me to post here.
