Rohypnol, also known as flunitrazepam, is a benzodiazepine medication used to treat insomnia and anxiety. It is also used as a date rape drug due to its sedative and hypnotic effects. Rohypnol is a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States, meaning it has a low potential for abuse and addiction.
Rohypnol is typically taken orally in tablet form. It can also be injected or snorted. The effects of Rohypnol typically begin within 20 to 30 minutes and last for several hours. Rohypnol can cause drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, impaired coordination, and memory loss. It can also lead to respiratory depression and death in high doses.
