Erowid Experience Reports

Tolerance

Build-up develops over 1–4 weeks of daily use; hypnotic tolerance faster than anxiolytic tolerance

Reset Falls after you stop, at a rate that varies from person to person. If you've been using regularly, cut down gradually with medical help rather than stopping suddenly.

No tolerance chart. Our decay curves for these drugs were estimates, and a curve can make tolerance look longer-lasting than it is, which is the dangerous direction.

How fast tolerance to these drugs fades after a break has not been measured well enough to draw, so don't count on a dose you used to take still being safe: after time off, start with a much smaller amount and don't use alone. Mixing sedatives with each other, with alcohol or with opioids sharply raises the risk of a fatal overdose. If you've been using regularly, don't stop suddenly: withdrawal from benzodiazepines, alcohol or GHB/GBL can cause seizures or delirium, so get medical help to cut down gradually.

Effects Erowid

Aggregated from 18 single-substance Erowid experience reports; 7 Erowid reports where another drug was taken too are left out

Each bar shows the share of analyzed reports whose text mentions that effect — a mention is not always a first-hand experience (fear of an effect or something witnessed can count). Mentions saying the effect did not happen are left out; that check reads keywords, so it can miss some. The shaded band on a bar, and the small range after its number, is the 95% interval: where the share could plausibly be with other reports of the same kind. Fewer reports, wider band. Tap or hover any number for details. The second value is the Bluelight extractor's per-effect confidence; a dash means the row is Erowid-derived, which has no confidence measurement.

Too few reports for bars: these effects come from 18 single-substance Erowid reports, and a bar is drawn only from 20 reports or more. With fewer, a percentage cannot tell a common effect from a rare one. Counts are shown instead. Why 20?

Also reported in combinations. In the 7 Bromazepam reports where another drug was taken too, 0 mention hospital, emergency services or an overdose, 0 a seizure and 1 psychosis (too few reports for percentages). In the 18 single-substance reports: 1, 0 and 0. These are not in the figures above: they cannot be put down to Bromazepam alone, and a mention is not always something that happened to the writer.

Erowid 8 reports 3 positive 3 neutral 2 cautionary visit

Man I Love This pink... positive exp #91713

Previously I did two 3mg pills colored in beautiful pink. Not much really. Second time I took 4x3mg and that was already something. I was dizzy, everything seemed fun, like mj without buzz in your head ( that sorta trembling feeling). I enjoyed George Carlins HBO show throughoutly and later had a funny evening.

Two Faced, Relaxed and Enraged neutral exp #68026

Let me first explain my use of recreational drugs in the past. I've done other benzodiazepines before, such as valium, ativan, xanax, klonopin, so my experience was not because of lack of benzodiazepine experience. I've driven, been to work, sat in classes at school without any negative situations surfacing ever.

Insignificant and Pointless neutral exp #91040

Substance (Brand Name): Lexotan Active Ingredients: Bromazepam Category: Benzodiazepine Dose: 3mg Intake: Oral Form: Pill/Tablet Bodyweight: 75kg Set: I am in normal mindset - neither uplifted nor depressive. The intake is done about 2 hours after waking up (8 hours sleep) without any food consumption.

Chemical Jesus positive exp #61623

I've had my share of tense moments, witnessing a murder (by my best friend, no less)..and the aftermath. So naturally I'm normally always on the edge of a pool of fear with clouds of frustration swirling overhead.

Calmness and Mild Euphoria positive exp #73506

I am male in my early twenties living in a small country in south eastern Europe. I have been always interested in psychoactive drugs but despite this my list of psychoactive drugs that I have done so far is modest consisting of alcohol, caffeine, nicotin and over the counter painkillers containing paracetamol and code...

Watch Out for Your Cognitive and Motor Skills neutral exp #111014

This was the first I tried any benzo. I was not taking any medications at the time of the experience. It was Friday night, I was bored and had some 6mg bromazepam pills lying around. I took half a pill and half an hour later a full pill. I might have taken another half, but I can't remember now.

This Medication Gave Nothing but Trouble cautionary exp #68374

Bromazepam Addiction After a stupid alcohol+buds+wild lettuce party, I found myself unable to come down (or felt like) the day after, and this unplesant experience leaded me to what my doctor diagnotized as 'acute anxiety'. He gave me bromazepam for 10 days, saying that is not addictive...

Fighting a Lifetime of Anxiety cautionary exp #77491

Generalized anxiety disorder had almost driven me to the point of suicide. I could no longer stand waking up with panic attacks and being freaked out by things that normal people could so easily handle. I'd been on paxil and urbanol...they didn't really work apart from making me feel sedated.
