Desalkylgidazepam (CAS 2894-61-3) An Analytical Reference Standard www.caymanchem.com Had a chance to do a bit of experimenting with this the other day, and it was interesting. I know it's been reported to have a very long half life, which appears to be the case based on my experiences.

Summary
Bromonordiazepam (also called desalkylgidazepam) is the active metabolite of the Ukrainian anxiolytic gidazepam and is now sold online as a long-acting research chemical benzodiazepine. Recreational users estimate approximately 6 mg equals 10 mg diazepam, placing it at roughly 0.6Γ diazepam potency. Light anxiolysis emerges at 3-6 mg, while sleep-inducing doses of 15 mg and above risk prolonged psychomotor impairment the next day.

Effect Profile

Strong anxiolysis with strong cognitive impairment, moderate euphoria, mild sedation
Tolerance
No tolerance chart. Our decay curves for these drugs were estimates, and a curve can make tolerance look longer-lasting than it is, which is the dangerous direction.
How fast tolerance to these drugs fades after a break has not been measured well enough to draw, so don't count on a dose you used to take still being safe: after time off, start with a much smaller amount and don't use alone. Mixing sedatives with each other, with alcohol or with opioids sharply raises the risk of a fatal overdose. If you've been using regularly, don't stop suddenly: withdrawal from benzodiazepines, alcohol or GHB/GBL can cause seizures or delirium, so get medical help to cut down gradually.
