Summary
Flualprazolam is a highly potent designer benzodiazepine that is 1.5-5 times stronger than alprazolam by weight. It is typically sold as counterfeit alprazolam (Xanax) tablets or as a research chemical. Accurate weighing with a precise milligram scale is critical due to extreme potency. This substance is particularly hypnotic and sedating compared to alprazolam, with strong amnestic effects and compulsive redosing tendencies. Sudden discontinuation after regular use can be life-threatening; individuals physically dependent on benzodiazepines must taper gradually.
