Chemical Class

Cloniprazepam is a designer benzodiazepine for which nine metabolites were identified, with clonazepam as the major metabolite1. It is a designer benzodiazepine within the emerging class of new psychoactive substances2. TripSit also categorizes it as habit-forming, although its psychoactive classification remains unknown. In vitro studies identified nine metabolites of cloniprazepam, with clonazepam as the major metabolite1.

Subjective Effects

Legacy content. A statistically backed ontology from Mindstate Design Labs is coming soon.

Effects vary widely by individual, dose, and context.

Physical

The physical effects of cloniprazepam can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage.

Cognitive

The cognitive effects of cloniprazepam can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The general head space of cloniprazepam is described by many as one of intense relaxation, anxiety suppression and decreased inhibition. It contains a large number of typical depressant cognitive effects. Paradoxical reactions to benzodiazepines such as increased seizures (in epileptics), aggression, increased anxiety, violent behavior, loss of impulse control, irritability and suicidal behavior sometimes occur (although they are rare in the general population, with an incidence rate below 1%). These paradoxical effects occur with greater frequency in recreational abusers, individuals with mental disorders, children, and patients on high-dosage regimes.

Pharmacology

Pharmacokinetics

Cloniprazepam is a prodrug converted to clonazepam, 7-aminoclonazepam, and other metabolites.3 Minor metabolic products are also formed.
