It includes Etizolam, an analog of benzodiazepines used to treat sleeplessness, anxiety, and panic attacks. It functions by amplifying the effects of GABA, a naturally occurring brain neurotransmitter that aids in nervous system calmness.
Etizolam: Strengthens the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that calms the brain by preventing nerve signals from reaching the brain. This aids in calming down, promoting sleep, and relaxing muscles.

Etizolam is a thienodiazepine which is chemically related to a class of substances known as benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines produce central nervous system (CNS) depression and are commonly used to treat insomnia and anxiety.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved Etizolam for use as a drug, and thus it cannot be sold or prescribed in the United States. Fees was responsible for managing Etizy.com, and the indictment alleges that Kulakevich and Fees conspired to launder the proceeds of Etizolam sales.
Etizolam has been usually presented as a valid and apparently safer alternative to benzodiazepines as treatment for several psychiatric syndromes, such as anxiety and insomnia. As reported in the literature, side effects occurring at therapeutic doses of 1–1.5 mg/day are negligible [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]].
Yes, there are several reports mentioning the abuse potential of Etizola. Therefore, it should be used with caution in patients prone to drug abuse.
Etizolam can be taken with food or without food. Generally, it is required that you use this drug within 15 to 30 minutes following your meal.
Stopping Etizola suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms which may include anxiety, insomnia, headache, dizziness, ringing sound in ear (tinnitus), eating disorder (anorexia), vomiting, nausea, tremor, weakness, excessive sweating (perspiration), irritability, hypersensitivity to visual and auditory stimuli. Stopping the medicine suddenly may also cause palpitations, fast heart rate and postural hypotension (drop in blood pressure on standing). In severe and rare cases of withdrawal from high doses, patients may develop seizures, mental disorder (psychosis), agitation, confusion, and hallucinations.
Yes, like benzodiazepines, it causes muscle relaxation, but otherwise it is mainly used for anxiety.
No, Etizola is not an antidepressant. It is used for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder with depressive symptoms. But, it may affect patients mood.
Oral doses of Etizola begin working within 30-60 minutes and peak at 3-4 hours. The medicine remains in the body for 6-8 hours although higher doses can last longer.
The duration is generally 6-8 hours although higher doses can last longer. Usual after effects are between 1-5 hours although many users report little after effects, especially if they have had a 7-8 hour period of uninterrupted sleep after use.
Etizolam also possessed a more marked antidepressant effect than did alprazolam or bromazepam.
Etizolam, sold under brand names such as Etilaam, Etizola, or Depas, is a benzodiazepine analog used for the short-term treatment of insomnia, anxiety, or panic attacks.
Etizolam depresses the central nervous system and animal testing seems to point toward its effectiveness as a muscle relaxer, anti-convulsion medication, sleep aid, sedative and anti-anxiety medication.
Like other benzodiazepines, it causes sleepiness but is mainly used for anxiety disorder. It increases total sleep time and decreases the proportion of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, wherein your eyes move quickly in different directions. Etizola had no effect on sleep latency (amount of time it takes you to go from being fully awake to being asleep).
As compared to other benzodiazepines, Etizola has lesser sedative effects, lower dependence, and lower tolerance. However, long-term use can reduce the effectivity of the medicine and may cause dependence and addiction.
