July 16, 2025 - CPA guidelines state that after ... are less effective than antidepressants in alleviating ruminative worry, the core symptom of GAD, but that in some cases, a prolonged treatment with benzodiazepines as the add-on to an antidepressant may be justified. Evidence from reviews of benzodiazepine tolerance mechanisms and clonazepam use in psychiatric disorders is strongly discordant with the claim that benzodiazepines lose anxiolytic efficacy over weeks, as these reviews present RCT evidence of ...

Etizolam - Decent euphoric properties Clonazolam - Pure bliss ~ Pure hell, I call it "Benzo Heroin" Flualprazolam - Mid, too hypnotic Flubromazepam - Mid, too hypnotic Flubromazolam - Mid, too hypnotic, just not very applicable to many scenarios, extremely potent Bromazolam - Mid, too hypnotic, decent sedative properties Pyrazolam - Very functional, near purely anxiolytic Diclazepam - Fantastic for tapering, long half life, very functional

r/researchchemicals on Reddit: list of and comparison of currently available rc benzos
Substance Duration Dosage Note
Etizolam 5-8 hours 0.5-2.5mg
Deschloroetizolam 8-10 hours 2-12mg
Diclazepam 5-7 hours 1-4mg Mainly sedative and anxiolytic
Phenazepam 10-18 hours 0.5-4mg Extremely long after effects
Flubromazepam 6-12 hours 3-16mg Long after effects
Flubromazolam 10-18 hours 80-600μg Extremely hypnotic; long after effects
Pyrazolam 6-7 hours 1-4mg Mainly anxiolytic; water soluble
Clonazolam 8-12 hours 50-800μg Long after effects
Nifoxipam 10-18 hours 0.25-2mg
Meclonazepam 9-15 hours 1.5-12mg

I think clonazolam is the best out of those. However, what you like the most is personal preference after all.

Also whoo, 10 benzos currently available, yet a few people still cry about etizolam slowly being replaced. Just try a few of the others!

If you have no/low tolerance, don't go for high doses, you will black out.

r/researchchemicals on Reddit: RC benzos and their purposes

Simply because benzos are HIGHLY addicting and I'd presume to assume that most people on this sub that "Research" RC drugs are unfortunately addicted to benzos (I did the same thing a few years ago, used them only when needed, then weekends, then every 3 days then everyday. Typical addict behavior and there I was 6 months later coming of Clonazolam and had the WORST 6 month of my life and I'm still recovering and have extremely bad social anxiety because of that abuse)

This is a way for drug dealers (and the labs that produce this stuff , because let's not kid ourselves that's what they are... Drug dealers just like Big Pharma) they are in it for the money. This is why you see SO much boom in the opiate, and benzo classes with I feel like Psychs close behind. They make whatever the public wants and is in demand for. And the sad fact is there are millions of people addicted to benzos.. and either will never come off, end up in jail, or dead.

Think long and hard why we are here and what our true intentions are behind seeking these Chems... While I'd love to fool myself and make myself seem like a "pioneer" it's simply me, not wanting to deal with something in my life and I need an escape... I need a benzo to calm me down, I need LSD to give me vision, I need an Opiate to take away pain etc etc etc. But the fact of the matter is I don't, I just want to feel loaded.
