Fluclotizolam
Summary
Fluclotizolam is a potent thienotriazolodiazepine approximately 3 times stronger than etizolam with a shorter half-life, leading to pronounced rebound insomnia and anxiety. First synthesized in 1979 but never marketed; emerged as a designer drug in 2017. Without medical oversight it poses serious overdose and dependence risks, particularly when combined with other depressants.

Based on reports from:
Tolerance
Build-up
develops over 1โ4 weeks of daily use; hypnotic tolerance faster than anxiolytic tolerance
Reset
weeks to months depending on half-life and duration of use; taper recommended
Tolerance Decay

Rapid tolerance accumulation is typical with short-acting, high-potency benzos; intermittent spacing (โฅ2โ3 weeks) best limits tolerance and withdrawal risk.
