Etizolam, sold the brand name Depas among others, is medication used for general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and insomnia.[1][8] It may be used short term but does not appear to be better than benzodiazepines.[9] It is taken by mouth.[1]
Side effects may include sleepiness, muscle weakness, poor coordination, fainting, headache, confusion, slurred speech, and sexual dysfunction.[8] There is also a risk of abuse and dependence.[8] It is a thienodiazepine, which are similar to benzodiazepines.[8] It actions via the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptors.[1] It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, hypnotic, and skeletal muscle relaxant effects.[8]
Etizolam was patented in 1971 and approved for medical use in 1984.[10][8] As of 2020 it was approved for medical use in Japan, Italy, and India but not in the United States.[1][8] There has been concerns regarding increasing misuse in Europe and the United States.[1] It is also known by a number of street names including Etiz and Etizzy.[1]
