How long does the effect of Rohypnol (date rape drug) last?
Although the research is incomplete, all indications are that the effects of Rohypnol last about 4-6 hours. This is similar to the duration of action of Xanax, another benzodiazepine that has significant central nervous system anti-anxiety action. Both drugs have significant dependence liability. But why is one approved by the FDA, and the other one not approved (Rohypnol is only approved for prescription use in Mexico)? We need more research on these drugs!
