>Z-drugs are a group of nonbenzodiazepine drugs with effects similar to benzodiazepines, which are used in the treatment of trouble sleeping,[1] and most of whose names start with the letter "Z".

> In that country more than 10 million prescriptions are filled a year, making it one of the most commonly used treatments for sleeping problems.

shieet my nigger we handing out sedatives up in here BRUH

i take back my defenses of it, benzos and faux benzos are horrifying

t. former diazepam addict

the most annoying thing is they call the drugs "non-benzos" but they act JUST LIKE THEM

i dont think ambien is a thing in uk, but definitely z drugs and the like

and they are addictive like them

yeah they basically are

how misleading is that?

zopiclone is one common over here

i have taken that and had black outs where i acted retarded and such

home alone in bed thankfully

not cool

>They are categorized as nonbenzodiazepines. All of these groups are believed to modulate benzodiazepine specific subunit sites, as specific agonists of the GABAA receptors. It is thought that the primary mode of action utilized by Z-drugs is selective, and carries a high affinity for the a1 hypnotic-inducing site on the benzodiazepine subunit within the GABAA receptor.

pretty fun tho heh heh

wait so how is this difference then benzos?

i think its just the chemical make up right

it must be

warning loud

> Nonbenzodiazepines (/ˌnɒnˌbɛnzoʊdaɪˈæzɪpiːn, -ˈeɪ-/,[1][2] sometimes referred to colloquially as "Z-drugs") are a class of psychoactive drugs that are very benzodiazepine-like in nature. Nonbenzodiazepine pharmacodynamics are almost entirely the same as benzodiazepine drugs and therefore employ similar benefits, side-effects, and risks. However, nonbenzodiazepines have dissimilar or entirely different chemical structures and are therefore unrelated to benzodiazepines on a molecular level.[3][4]

You were right steamboat

it's literally just a different structure

same effects

> very benzodiazepine-like in nature.

>nonbenzodiazpeine
