I've been taking etizolam for a while now, ever since a 'business' acquaintance of mine introduced it to me and got me in with a sorta secret online vendor selling his (or her) own press Etiz pills. Although Etizolam isn't 'controlled' here in the UK, you still need someone to supply it to you.

Summary
Etizolam (also known as Etilaam, Etizest, Depas, and many others) is a novel depressant substance of the thienodiazepine class. Etizolam is chemically related to benzodiazepines and acts by binding to GABA receptors in the brain. Etizolam is not commonly prescribed.

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
Aggregated from 60 single-substance Erowid and 15 Bluelight experience reports; 68 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.
Rows resting on fewer than 20 reports show a count (“3 of 7”) instead of a bar. Why 20?

Also reported in combinations. In the 68 Etizolam reports where another drug was taken too, 7 (10.3%) mention hospital, emergency services or an overdose, 1 (1.5%) a seizure and 3 (4.4%) psychosis. In the 60 single-substance reports: 3.3%, 3.3% and 0.0%. These are not in the figures above: they cannot be put down to Etizolam alone, and a mention is not always something that happened to the writer.

To start off, Iยve had very in depth experience with virtually every drug from DMT to opiates. Iยve also gone through moderate-heavy use of benzodiazepines, and the dosage that I take is not recommended. Iยve had chronic insomnia and anxiety for years, so the use of Etizolam for these will be addressed as well.
I am a 24 year old male, 186cm and 92kg, A is a 24 year old female, ~165cm and 60kg. I wanted to acquire some etizolam for a while, and finally found a vendor that had excellent reviews.
I wrote a previous report about being an addict to RC benzo drugs for a year. I pretty well got my ass kicked by these legal benzo drugs, which I was thoroughly and wantonly abusing. I was feeling pretty emotional when I wrote it . I feel much better now, and I have a new perspective.
Drank 2 strong beers (6% ABV) around 10 pm during a movie with my girlfriend. This in no way affected the intoxication I experienced on this compound, but was noted in case the lingering effects of ethanol contributed to the subsequent 'black-out' that I experienced.
1mg Etizolam - kind of like valium and ambien I hadn't done much research on Etizolam, but had heard MANY people talking about it for a while, and wanted to see what the buzz was all about.
An Excellent Benzo Substitute I'm somebody who has dealt with both generalised and social anxiety for the last several years, to varying degrees of intensity. Prior to eventually visiting a doctor regarding my ailments and getting proper help, I was pretty much learning with ways to cope with my anxiety symptoms on my...
My friend Sandy (not her real name) and I had both developed quite a heavy benzodiazepine habit. We had both been used to taking about 8mg of Alprazolam each, every day through our school semester.

It has been quite a while since I have felt the need to post a TR, but a recent one month binge with etizolam has produced some results I found interesting and feel compelled to share.
Hello, This is my first trip report so please excuse me if I seem to ramble or whatnot. I originally did not want to make this thread but a friend has talked me into it. First, let me give you a little background information. I am a 20 year old male in Eastern United States.
First of all this is the first benzo I have tried (I know it's not actually a benzo). I did this last night and wrote my experience throughout the duration. 15:05 - Swallowed 1mg of Etizolam 16:00 - Tiniest bit stumbly, no noticable other effects, may take another 1mg.
Im 25 weigh 165 I have a moderate tolerance for benzos. I consider them a tool type a drug , used for spacific purposes(come-downs,panic attacks,sleep,alcohol w/d,ect.) But when i got some etizolam powder and converted it to liquid(PG). This was a whole different animal than the tablets, this was different.
