Phenazepam
Phenazepam is a long-acting benzodiazepine with anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, and anticonvulsant properties. It acts by enhancing GABAergic neurotransmission at the GABA-A receptor. Due to its potential for dependence, tolerance development, and severe side effects, it is classified as a high-risk substance.
