Lorazepam sold as diazepam
Risk assessment
This tablet, sold as diazepam (Valium®), did not contain the expected benzodiazepine diazepam, but lorazepam (Temesta®).
Lorazepam is also a benzodiazepine and the active ingredient in the drug Temesta®. Lorazepam has a shorter duration of action compared to diazepam and is dosed lower. The content of 2.5 mg analyzed in this tablet corresponds to a high dose.
Taking benzodiazepines can cause numerous undesirable side effects. In addition, regular and long-term use carries a very high risk of physical and psychological dependence. Benzodiazepines should only be taken as prescribed by a doctor and only for a short period of time (max. 4-6 weeks). Longer-term use should be discussed with the treating specialist. The dosages and duration of action of the individual benzodiazepines differ considerably.
When mixing with other downers (alcohol, GHB/GBL, heroin) there is a risk of respiratory paralysis!
Medicines bought on the internet are also often misdeclared; always have them tested before use!

Analysis

Mixed use
Do not mix any depressant substances such as benzodiazepines, alcohol, GHB/GBL or opioids. Risk of unconsciousness or respiratory paralysis!
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!
Testing
If you do not have the possibility to have substances analyzed, first test a maximum of one third of the pill. Some counterfeit drugs contain a more potent substance than the original.
Wait and see
Wait at least 2 hours after taking the drug. With some drugs, the onset of the intoxicating effect is very slow or it is difficult to perceive.
