*'''[[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::Cognitive euphoria]]''' - This effect is not consistently produced between individuals and seems to be highly dependent on personal factors. Some people do not report any euphoric effects following benzodiazepine use. When it does occur, it is typically described as mild to moderate and is commonly thought to occur at a higher rate in those with pre-existing [[anxiety]] issues. This may partly be the result of the immediateness in which the anxiety-relieving and disinhibiting effects are produced. While this effect may not be entirely consistent, many reports suggest that certain benzodiazepines are more reliable and effective at producing 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.
