I suffer from severe anxiety, inner tension, tremors, cognitive deficit, derealization, etc
One double shot of whiskey gives me more relief than 1 mg of clonazepam. I am able to think, I become more motivated, relaxed, and my inner tension and tremors stop.
What is the mechanism behind this? It can't just be GABA and NMDA antagonism otherwise clonazepam would work too. It's got to be something else alcohol does that I need to find a medication that can do the same, otherwise I'm on the path to alcoholism.
And no, my symptoms are not from alcohol withdrawal, I had them for a year before I accidentally discovered alcohol practically makes me NORMAL for a few hours.
