i've been on diazepam now for about 1-2 months, it worked when i started taking it. Diazepam hits gaba-a receotors, i was put on it to for anxiety from a med that hits gaba-b receptors, and it's like i have to take the diazepam with it, to make the anxiety go away. If i take a 5mg tablet of diazepam, it does have a calming effect, but when it goes up to 10mg, ... it does have a calming effecct but not relief effect. I'm worried the gaba-b receptors are expecting to be hit, instead of gaba-a, and require them to be relief for anxiety. I'm worried, i don't have badly problems with anxiety, but some strange things around the house started happening, dealing with just spiritual stuff, lights going on and off, power going off in parts of the house, poltergeist activity, and it scared the hell out of me. I had to go to the doctor to get off a certain med that hits gaba-b recetprs, i really ... worried. I hope anyone who knows about GABA receptors, benzo's hit gaba-a receptors, another med works on gaba-b and it feels like it requires it for anxiety relief.
Just some small knowedge from anyone, does gaba-a receptors, how are they diffrent from gaba-b receptors?

just forget about garbage i posted about poletergist activity, that's a totally diffrent thing and now i regret posting everything that needs to have a filter and not needed to be known.
Just if anyone knows about the GABA recetors, please let me know, gaba-a and gaba-b

New data point to a role for the GABAB system in major depression and support the antidepressant potential of GABAB receptor antagonists.
Gaba A mediates anxiety.
Try Gabitril. Its a Selective GABA reuptake inhibitor.

i've been on lorazepam, alrpazolam, clonazepan years ago, and all i have to say, alprazolam was the best rescue for anxiety, it slightly had a antidepressant effect, lorazepam if i was ... i rerember being tense for various reasons, i took lorazepam and it felt like a lift off me, like heavy anxety feelking pulled off....i felt better, clonazepam was the strongest but it tended to make depressed, it was very strong. Diazepam i have to say, there's nothing really specific about it, it has this calm effect, sometimes it makes apathaic calm, then others somewhat of a relief, i don't know why people think it's addictive, i don't like diazepam, there some muscle relasation you feel, and this a general "calm". It's just it makes me apathic sometimes, blunted emotion or something. I can see why it was just a long time a "standard" benzo that was used in household use for anxiety in the 60s and 70s, then ativan lorazepam came out with more potent effects. But soemtimes it doesn't help me sleep, because its not hitting gaba-b receptors.
anyways...ill stay with it for now. But it does not have any euphoric properties, it must gives s a general calm. Maybe different from other people
