A '''thienodiazepine''' is a heterocyclic compound containing a diazepine ring fused to a thiophene ring. Thienodiazepine forms the central core of several pharmaceutical drugs. Since thienodiazepines interact with the [[benzodiazepine]] receptor site, they typically have similar effects as benzodiazepines and can be considered as essentially identical. | A '''thienodiazepine''' is a heterocyclic compound containing a diazepine ring fused to a thiophene ring.

Similar to [[benzodiazepines]], [[Thienodiazepine#Discontinuation|the sudden discontinuation of thienodiazepines]] can be potentially dangerous or life-threatening for individuals using regularly for extended periods of time, sometimes resulting in seizures or death. It is highly recommended to taper one's dose by gradually lowering the amount taken each day for a prolonged period of time instead of stopping abruptly.<ref>Canadian Guideline for Safe and Effective Use of Opioids for Chronic Non-Cancer Pain - Appendix B-6: Benzodiazepine Tapering | http://nationalpaincentre.mcmaster.ca/opioid/cgop_b_app_b06.html</ref> | Similar to [[benzodiazepines]], [[Thienodiazepine#Discontinuation|the sudden discontinuation of thienodiazepines]] can be potentially dangerous or life-threatening for individuals using regularly for extended periods of time, sometimes resulting in seizures or death.

The effects listed below are based upon the [[subjective effects index]] and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] [[Special:TopUsers|contributors]]. The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects. These effects are listed and defined in detail within their own dedicated articles below: | The effects listed below are based upon the [[subjective effects index]] and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] [[Special:TopUsers|contributors]].
