Nirtrazepam: is a BENZODIAZEPAM and it is as other diazepam drug HIGHLY ADDICTIVE> Make sure you research this medication and at the very least review it's necessity with your prescribing health care professional. Although OPIATES have received a lot of attention recentlky the diazepam addiction issue is in my opinion just as threatening to public safety MY OPINION ONLY Dr Z
