The use of dipipanone can cause side effects, among them: nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness.
Dipipanone belongs to the class of opioids under the general name 4,4-diphenylheptan-3-ones. The dipipanone molecule is similar to the methadone molecule, the difference lies in the N, N-dimethyl functional group of methadone, which in dipipanone is replaced by a piperidine ring.
When the therapeutic dose is exceeded, dipipanone gives subjective effects typical of opiates: euphoria, developing cross-tolerance with other opioids, withdrawal symptoms. Cyclizine, which is part of Dikonal, causes a very strong “arrival” if the solution of tablets is administered intravenously, which makes the drug attractive for opiate addicts. Due to the use of dipipanone for recreational purposes and the narcogenic potential of the drug, its turnover in many countries is legally limited.
