Just wondering what differences people that have taken both have noticed between the two ?

Never taken flunitrazepam, only nitrazepam, but reputedly

- flunitrazepam is more quickly adsorbed, and hits you fast

- Rohypnol tablets contained 2mg of flunitrazepam, making them 2 or 3 times stronger than Mogadon (5mg nitrazepam) hence the reputation as stronger

-flunitrazepam is reputed to cause more amnesia

I've not heard of these meds are they exclusive to Australia or the UK? Phillipa

They were widely marketed, but not in the US for some reason..... closest thing in America would be Dalmane.

Flunitrazepam got a reputation as a date-rape drug (Roofies) and is hardly prescribed these days. Nitrazepam is still used, but not often, it has a logn ahlf life, and can cause hangover.....Temazepam and the newer "Z drugs" are the most commonly used hypnotics here

I do know Dalmane used to be popular here. Funny with all my sleeping problems of past that temazepam has never been prescribed. Thanks Phillipa
