The below tests were run in isolation of any other substances. I have no benzodiazepine tolerance, although I have previously taken pharmaceutical lorazepam 1mg and clonazepam 0.25mg, both to good effect.

Summary
Bromazolam is a potent designer benzodiazepine structurally analogous to alprazolam (Xanax), never approved for medical use. It is commonly found in counterfeit pharmaceutical tablets and pressed pills sold as alprazolam or diazepam. Combining with other CNS depressants greatly increases overdose risk, respiratory depression, and death.

The PsychonautWiki Journal app already has Bromazolam, but its built-in entry only covers Oral. Here are the other routes we have data for. You can't edit a built-in substance, but you can add a Custom Unit for any of these routes to log it.

Custom Units carry a single dose per route, so the full ranges live in the reference above. A route's suggested dose is the midpoint of its common range. Ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription.

Acute tolerance: develops within a single session โ the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.

Dose (oral solution): 0.12 mg bromazolam (3 drops) 0.16 mg bromazolam (4 drops) 0.24 mg bromazolam (6 drops) 0.24 mg bromazolam (6 drops) Total 0.76 mg bromazolam (19 drops) This is report of my first time using this substance. Background: 45 yr old male with no benzo tolerance.
Unfortunately I didnยt record exact times or dosages for an accurate report so this is a general overview. First dose: Saturday evening around 6-8pm ROA: I was using a bottle of 10mg/ml solution of Bromazolam, which tasted terrible so I would put 2 drops at a time in the food I was eating to avoid the taste.
