Came across Rilmazafone. Its a prodrug that metabolizes into a active compound Rilmazolam (8-chloro-6-(2-chlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethyl-4H-1,2,4-triazolo [1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-2-carboxamide) by a ring closure resulting in a triazolo benzodiazepine structure similar to alprazolam.

I'm curious if any users have experience with this compound? What is the dosing comparison to a compound like alprazolam?

Rilmazafone and alprazolam are both benzodiazepine-like compounds used for their sedative and anxiolytic effects, but they differ in their pharmacological properties and dosing.

Typical doses of rilmazafone are around 1-2 mg before sleep. Since it’s primarily used as a hypnotic agent in Japan, its dosing reflects its purpose as a sleep aid, with relatively low dosages compared to some anxiolytic benzodiazepines.

For anxiety, alprazolam is typically dosed at 0.25 to 0.5 mg three times daily, though it can go up to 4 mg per day in divided doses for severe cases. For panic disorders, higher doses (up to 10 mg/day) may be prescribed.

Alprazolam is significantly more potent as an anxiolytic than rilmazafone. Alprazolam's anxiolytic effects must be stronger and more pronounced at lower doses compared to rilmazafone.

Rilmazafone’s use is more specialized, primarily in sleep disorders, while alprazolam is widely used for anxiety and panic disorders, making their typical dosing and applications quite different.

There isn’t a straightforward equivalency between rilmazafone and alprazolam due to their different purposes and potencies. However, in general, the effects of 1 mg of rilmazafone might be loosely compared to around 0.125 to 0.25 mg of alprazolam, though this is a rough estimate and can vary widely based on individual metabolism.
