Desmethyletizolam (also known as metizolam) is a thienodiazepine that is closely related to etizolam.[1][2][3]


{{SubstanceBox/Etizolam}}''''''Metizolam'''''' (also known as '''desmethyletizolam''') is a short-acting [[psychoactive]] drug of the [[thienodiazepine]] class which has been shown to produce [[depressant]], anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, muscle relaxant, [[anticonvulsant]], and amnestic effects. It is a [[thienodiazepine]] that is closely related to etizolam.[1][2][3] Metizolam, like [[benzodiazepines]], binds to modulatory sites on the GABA [[gamma-aminobutyric acid]] receptors. This compound is not recognised as a controlled substance in many parts of the world, leading to its rise in popularity as a product of many [[research chemical]] vendors.

Metizolam has a relatively fast onset of action and symptomatic relief. 1mg of metizolam is approximately equivalent to 10mg [[diazepam]]. For anxiety disorders associated with depression, 1 mg can be administered several times over the course of a day. Smaller doses may alleviate symptoms of panic and can be used before bed for relief of insomnia.
