Ethylbromazolam sold as bromazolam
Risk assessment
This tablet sold on the Darknet as bromazolam did not contain bromazolam, but ethylbromazolam.
Ethylbromazolam is structurally related to bromazolam and, like alprazolam (XANAX), belongs to the benzodiazepine group. It is a relatively new, unknown substance for which no clinical studies are available. According to user reports, the effect of ethylbromazolam is comparable to bromazolam. Both are illegally manufactured and not medically approved NPS (New Psychoactive Substance). NPS are generally relatively unresearched substances, which is why the consumption of ethyl bromazolam poses an unknown health risk.
The tested tablet was labeled "XANAX". When such a tablet is purchased, it is normally assumed that it contains the active ingredient alprazolam. Ethylbromazolam is dosed slightly higher than alprazolam, but if additional doses are taken to achieve an effect typical of alprazolam, the risk of a dangerous overdose increases.
Ethylbromazolam has a sedative and sleep-promoting effect and, at 6-20 hours, has a significantly longer effect than alprazolam. According to user reports, there are also reports of after-effects and side effects lasting several days. Possible adverse effects include memory loss, confusion, muscle weakness, drowsiness, dizziness, headaches and nausea. Ethylbromazolam has a strong depressant effect on the central nervous system and therefore carries a high risk of overdose.
Mixed use with other depressant substances (e.g. alcohol and GHB/GBL) and dissociatives (e.g. ketamine) can lead to unconsciousness and life-threatening respiratory depression.
Medicines bought on the black market are often misdeclared. It is therefore essential to test them first or use a drug checker!

Dosage
Feel your way to the dosage and do not rely on dosage information from friends. Various factors such as habituation or dependence can contribute to a greatly increased dosage!
