Flunitrazepam Ethanol

Wickstrom E, Godtiibssen OB. The effects of quazepam, triazolam, flunitrazepam and placebo, alone and in combination with ethanol, on daytime sleep, memory, mood and performance. Hum Psychopharmacol 1988 3 101-110. 

Answer A. The signs and symptoms are characteristic of a CNS stimulant that facilitates the activity of amines in both the CNS and the periphery. Amphetamines promote the release of NE from sympathetic nerve endings, causing CV stimulation and pupillary dilation. In the CNS, they enhance the actions of DA, NE, and 5HT, causing behavioral excitation and a psychotic state that may be difficult to distinguish from schizophrenia. Ethanol, marijuana, fentanyl, and flunitrazepam (a benzodiazepine that has been used in date rape ) are all CNS depressants.
