Introduction
Flunitrazolam Another ultra-potent compound, another heavy sedative, another one I only tried once that I don't feel eager to revisit. Unlike other ultra-potents, this compound is extremely short lasting. There wasn't much of a 'high' to speak of, just a sudden sleepiness as though I had taken doxylamine or melatonin. There is no residual grogginess into the next day- in fact it was quite the opposite- it quickly and assertively induced sleep but it was a short and restless sleep that had me waking up early the next day not feeling groggy but not feeling well-rested either. The next day however, I felt stimulated, on edge, as though the short and acute experience had suddenly induced a rebound stimulation. My muscles were tense and twitchy, my teeth clenched, I was fidgeting and anxious all day. While I can see a short-acting and super-potent hypnotic as being useful, I am hesitant to revisit a compound that seems to have induced mild withdrawal effects the next day. My only trial was with a 200 μg dose, which yielded almost no effects beyond a slight amnesia. About an hour and a half later an additional 250 μg was added, which induced a rapid and powerful drowsiness. There was no "high" to speak of between baseline and sleep. While I went to sleep it appears to have left my system before I woke up- I would place the total duration probably somewhere between 2-4 hours.
