*'''[[Effect::Cognitive euphoria]]''' - This effect ~~doesn~~'t ~~appear~~ to be ~~consistent, typically only presenting itself~~ at ~~high doses~~. It can be described as mild to moderate and is thought to occur at a higher rate in those with pre-existing [[anxiety]]. This may be partly due to the immediate relief from anxiety. ~~This isn't definitive, however~~, ~~as some users~~ report euphoria ~~without the presence of anxiety, and~~ others ~~reporting no euphoria at all~~.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3684331/ | Benzodiazepine Pharmacology and Central Nervous System–Mediated Effects</ref>

*'''[[Effect::Cognitive euphoria]]''' - This effect isn't consistent in everyone, with some people reporting euphoric qualities on benzodiazepines, while others don't find them to be euphoric at all. It can be described as mild to moderate and is thought to occur at a higher rate in those with pre-existing [[anxiety]]. This may be partly due to the immediate relief from anxiety and the calmness that follows. While this effect may not be entirely consistent, people report certain benzodiazepines providing more euphoria over others. <ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3684331/ | Benzodiazepine Pharmacology and Central Nervous System–Mediated Effects</ref>

*'''[[Effect::Thought deceleration]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Emotion suppression]]''' - Although this compound primarily suppresses anxiety, it also dulls other emotions in a manner which is distinct but less intensive than that of [[antipsychotic]]s.
