Adinazolam is a short-acting triazolobenzodiazepine originally investigated as both an anxiolytic and antidepressant but never FDA approved. In clinical trials (10-90 mg/day) it showed rapid relief of anxiety and modest antidepressant efficacy comparable to tricyclics with fewer anticholinergic effects. Human studies found adinazolam causes the most mental and physical sedation compared to diazepam and lorazepam, along with significant mental unpleasantness. Recreationally it produces a calm effect with less amnesia than diazepam, though individual reports vary. Because of its short half-life, interdose rebound anxiety is common and redosing drives escalation.
