How does it make you feel?
BZP was originally evaluated as an antidepressant drug. Now it is found mainly as a substitute for MDMA.
The stimulant effects of piperazines are similar to MDMA (ecstasy) but dose for dose they are not as potent.
Effects can last for 6 to 8 hours and include feelings of:
- euphoria
- being alert, alive and full of energy
- arousal
- Sleeplessness
- loss of appetite
Duration
How long the effects last and the drug stays in your system depends on how much you’ve taken, your size and what other drugs you may have also taken.
