Talk:Etizolam

message: a lot of these drug articles label drug use for pleasure as 'abuse'.  that seems to be a matter of opinion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarksmom (talk • contribs) 21:15, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  'abuse'? 

message: From , the half life of etizolam was calculated to be 3.4 hours with a standard deviation of 0.3 hours (active metabolite was 8.2 hours with a standard deviation of 2.1 hours).  Further in the paper (nearing the conclusion), it is stated that "[...] the kinetics of etizolam are similar to other theinodiazepines [...] very short mean eleminiation half-life (3-5 h)".  I would assume 3-5 hours is a more reasonable estimate, but would it be better to state the half life as 3.4 ± 1 hour (~3 times the std. deviation)?

thread_title:  Half-Life 

message: I have added a 'dubious' tag to the statement that "Similar to other benzodiazepines, etizolam binds unselectively to benzodiazepine receptor subtypes." First of all, this sentence seems to suggest that etizolam is a benzodiazepine. Secondly, I see no justification in the referenced article for the statement that etizolam is non-selective with regards to receptor subtypes (in fact, there may be indirect evidence for the contrary, with a degree of α2-selectivity being a reasonable candidate.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjerrk (talk • contribs) 10:27, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Selectivity

message: Quite a few bits of information relating to Benzodiazepines in this article. Etizolam is related, but is not Benzodiazepine.
Agreed. I think that is a good way to reference it - it is quite close and does bind to the same receptor, but from a pharmacological standpoint they are not the same.
:It looks like there's some confusion in the law enforcement communities. According to the Connecticut Post, a man was charged with possession of a controlled substance for it: "He had in his possession Etizolam, a benzodiazepine that police said is not authorized for use in the United States, according to the report."
:Is it relevant to mention this arrest in the legal status section? —C.Fred (talk) 18:06, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etizolam is -not- a Benzodiazepine 

message: I edited "United Kingdom (U.K) - Not controlled as of August 2014.{citation needed|date=August 2014}" 
How is this relevant to the article in its current form?
Fact is for me that I think we need to be straightforward with the facts, avoid astroturfers, until in the UK (and other places) things (may) change. Peace.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.124.3.172 (talk) 09:22, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
