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

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

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

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.
