Rohypnol was/is one of the drugs of choice on the gay scene here. It is
|
|
a benzodiazapene, but has the rather unusual effect of making its users
|
|
become very agressive (A few people I used to know used it quite heavily
|
|
several years ago). Interestingly, other friends who have used various
|
|
other benzo's (prescribed) have sometimes had bad experiences with
|
|
release of agression/anger.
|
|
|
|
One friend was prescribed Mogadon, but found that it made her very
|
|
restless and agressive. Her doctor switched her to valium, which was
|
|
fine.
|
|
|
|
Does anyone have any information from medical literature about these
|
|
sort of "paradoxical reactions to benzodiazapenes ?
