Adinazolam
Adinazolam is a benzodiazepine derivative, and more specifically, a triazolobenzodiazepine (TBZD), which are benzodiazepine (BZD) derivatives. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, and antidepressant properties.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Adinazolam was developed by Dr. Jackson B. Hester, who was seeking to enhance the antidepressant properties of alprazolam, which he also developed. Adinazolam produces, by metabolism, the pharmacologically active benzodiazepines N-desmethyladinazolam, alpha-hydroxyalprazolam and estazolam.
Medical Uses[edit | edit source]
Adinazolam's medical uses include treatment of anxiety and insomnia. It also has strong antidepressant properties and is sometimes used in the treatment of bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Side effects of adinazolam are similar to those of other benzodiazepines and may include drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, and memory impairment. Long-term use of adinazolam can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation.
