'''Pagoclone''' is a non-[[benzodiazepine]] [[anxiolytic]] of the [[chemical class::cyclopyrrolone|cyclopyrrolone]] class., While it is ~~closey~~ related to "Z-drugs" (like [[zolpidem]] and [[zopiclone]]), pagoclone is unique in that it does not produce [[sedation|sedation]] or as much loss of [[Loss of motor control|motor control]] and [[amnesia]] that ~~benzodiaepines~~ and other Z-drugs do. As with many z-drugs, it is reported to cause hallucinations similar to [[Deliriant|deliriants]], albeit with much less pronounced effects.
