Drug Alert: Etizolam sold as Xanax
⚠️ Drug Warning ⚠️ Etizolam is being sold as Xanax ⚠️
NSW Health has released a drug warning about numerous batches of fake alprazolam/Xanax. We also have peer reports that these pills are currently circulating around Sydney.
These drugs are pressed so they look like branded alprazolam tablets (Xanax bars or Mylan-brand pills). However, the active ingredient in these is etizolam – a completely different drug, with some different effects!
Although etizolam is chemically related to alprazolam, their effects may be different between people. 👬
❌ You're more likely to have a bad time or do something you'll regret if you mix etizolam with alcohol or other drugs. Both etizolam and alprazolam can lead to compulsive redosing.
Things to look out for:
• unusually alert/energetic after dosing
• time to come on may differ from Xanax
✅ Remember to stay safe!
💊 Don’t redose - Multiple doses are dangerous💊
