    Summary TheDrug.Wiki

    Gidazepam is an atypical benzodiazepine developed in the Soviet Union, licensed for use in Russia and Ukraine under the brand name Gidazepam IC. It functions as a prodrug metabolized to desalkylgidazepam (bromo-nordazepam). Unlike typical benzodiazepines, gidazepam has minimal sedative and hypnotic effects, making it suitable for daytime use.

    Tolerance

    Build-up develops over 1–4 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

    Full tolerance 14d Half tolerance 14d Baseline ~42d

    Tolerance builds with regular daily or near-daily use within weeks and decays slowly over several weeks after cessation. Values are heuristic aggregates based on benzodiazepine-class data rather than gidazepam-specific trials; expect interindividual variability.
