I don't know what the point of extended-release clorazepate is, but it would make it all but impossible to catch any kind of benzo buzz whatsoever. Nordiazepam alone barely has any abuse potential as far as I'm concerned.

Hi, hope you don't mind me asking a question that's a little off-topic, but from years of taking different benzos for different durations, I get this particular and different reactions between diazepam and clonazepam. Diazepam produces a well-being effect nearly immediately and then it "wears off" after about 4 hours or so and then I feel depressed. Clonazepam OTOH, produces nearly an immediate depressogenic funk for about four-six hours then I feel quite decent six - twelve hours postdosing. Is this to do with the different metabolites vs. parents of these two different benzos and can you help explain that reaction and is it typical? Thanks for any response, just curious...
