yes indeed, it’s really strong (I just saw that the common name in English for Dormicum is Hypnovel) and it’s shocking how doctors in Switzerland are prescribing them unconsciously to any heroin addicted simultaneously with methadon for heavy sleeping problems.
2 pill of 15mg are sold 20 swiss frank on the market which represent the same price as 1 gram Heroin. (A 30 pills box sold by the drugstore for less than 30 Frank are sold for 600 Frank in the street, cuz this hypnotic Benzo is very addictiv)
I have heard that somedays in the streets, there are people waiting hours until a dealer comes and it happens that the price for the last pill the dealer has raise to 40 frank.
the two pills would be about €19 or £14; which is a lot for two pills of any divert pharmed even on a black market; it is almost as much as MDMA pills cost in UK in the 1990s (but those were 100% illegal)
Doesn’t look like good practice as far as medical ethics are concerned; in the UK this level of drugs would only be prescribed to someone who is very frail/elderly and inside a residential home and even then its all locked down and every last pill / dose counted.
