Risk assessment

This tablet sold on the darknet as XANAX (alprazolam) did not contain alprazolam, but norflurazepam .

Norflurazepam (N-desalkylflurazepam) , like alprazolam, belongs to the benzodiazepine group. Norflurazepam is an active ingredient of some benzodiazepines used in medicine (e.g. flurazepam). Norflurazepam is also traded on the illegal market as an NPS (New Psychoactive Substance). NPS (New Psychoactive Substances) are basically relatively unexplored substances. It is assumed that the effects and risks of norflurazepam are comparable to those of flurazepam.

Norflurazepam has a calming and sleep-promoting effect. Norflurazepam works for 10-16 hours, which is significantly longer than alprazolam. There are also reports of after-effects and side effects lasting several days. Possible adverse effects include confusion, muscle weakness, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, nausea, bitter taste sensation.

Tablets and pills are regularly misdeclared, so be sure to have them tested!

Safer Use

Analysis

Have your substance tested in a drug check if you bought it on the black market or on the internet. Counterfeit blisters may look identical to the original packaging.

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.
