Rohypnol is the trade name for flunitrazepam (pronounced floo-nigh-trays-eh-pam ), a drug that belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines (pronounced ben-zoh-di-ayz-eh-peens ). Other well-known benzodiazepines include Valium and Xanax. Benzodiazepines are primarily prescribed by doctors to treat anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. 

Because Rohypnol is banned in the United States, there is an emerging trend for young people to start abusing two other Rohypnol-like drugs that are still legal in the United States clonazepam (Klonopin ) and alprazolam (Xanax). Both Klonopin and Xanax are benzodiazepines that are used for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. Although they are less potent than Rohypnol, they can produce similar effects when mixed with alcohol and also have been reported to enhance the effects of heroin.

Substance-Induced Anxiety Disorder. Numerous medicines and drugs of abuse can produce panic attacks. Panic attacks can be triggered by central nervous system stimulants such as cocaine, methamphetamine, caffeine, over-the-counter herbal stimulants such as ephedra, or any of the medications commonly used to treat narcolepsy and ADHD, including psychostimulants and modafinil. Thyroid supplementation with thyroxine (Synthroid) or triiodothyronine (Cytomel) can rarely produce panic attacks. Abrupt withdrawal from central nervous system depressants such as alcohol, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines can cause panic attacks as well. This can be especially problematic with short-acting benzodiazepines such as alprazolam (Xanax), which is an effective treatment for panic disorder but which has been associated with between dose withdrawal symptoms. 

Benzodiazepines. The introduction of the benzodiazepines represented a significant advance in the treatment of panic disorder. In contrast to MAOIs and TCAs, the benzodiazepines begin to provide relief the very first day of treatment, and many patients experience a complete response by the end of the second week of therapy. All benzodiazepines should theoretically alleviate the symptoms of a panic attack at comparable doses, but the benzodiazepines of choice are alprazolam (Xanax, Xanax XR) and clonazepam (Klonopin). It likely is not coincidental that these two are among the highest potency benzodiazepines. However, they differ considerably from a pharmacokinetic standpoint. If clonazepam is the tortoise of benzodiazepines, then alprazolam is the hare. 

Benzodiazepines. Like the barbiturates, benzodiazepines bind to the GABA receptor and are therefore cross-tolerant with alcohol. As a result, they also make suitable replacement medications for alcohol and are widely used for alcohol detoxification. Theoretically, any benzodiazepine can be used to treat alcohol withdrawal. However, short-acting benzodiazepines such as alprazolam (Xanax) are often avoided because breakthrough withdrawal may occur between doses. Intermediate to long-acting benzodiazepines including chlordiazepoxide (Librium), diazepam (Valium), oxazepam (Serax), lorazepam (Ativan), and clonazepam (Klonopin) are more commonly utilized. 

Benzodiazepines. Longer-acting clonazepam and shorter-acting alprazolam have also been used in the treatment of social anxiety disorder, and controlled trials have shown them to be quite effective. In our experience, alprazolam is best suited for discrete periods of intermittent anxiety, though both clonazepam and the new long-acting alprazolam (Xanax XR) are likely effective for long-term treatment.
