What pharmaceutical calms your nerves?

These antihistamines are altogether very uneventful, weird that people keep using promethazine or even hydroxyzine to potentiate opioids - to such a degree that where I lived before the docs stopped to prescribe promethazine and it was sold on the streets ...

Even together with morphine, the hydroxyzine only makes me unpleasantly tired and hoping for sleep, if anything at all.
 
Now, this is not a Pharmaceutical but, my nerve calming tonic, good, highest qualty kava.

Check it out. No liver damage just never mix with alcohol, entirely non physically addictive.

Kava is very sociable like alcohol, but never gives rise to aggression, misunderstanding or worse.

Primarily used for Anxiety and nerve and nervous mind calming.

If you want some easy links, anyone shout me, good references, regional cultivates etc.
 
The straight truth is that you are very specifically inquiring about drugs called Benzodiazepines. I don't want to overload you with bullshit, as I can see you're relatively green here (When I read the title of this thread, I got lost in a full ten minute daydream thinking of dozens of different drugs that would calm my nerves, waking up to find myself drooling on my keyboard and with my pants unzipped).

Benzodiazepines closely mimic the effects of Alcohol on the body and mind, however, many of what you would call the negative metabolic effects related to alcohol are not present. These drugs are well-known for their addictive potential. They will generally kill anxiety pretty effectively without a lot of negative side effects, especially when used in moderation. The problem is more with long-term effects. As you become more tolerant and often, physically dependent. The long-term effects can be pretty devastating.

As far as less-harmful, less-addictive options, I personally lead toward Cloidine (Catapres). I feel like the effects enable people to believe they are calming down due to the hypotensive action and this can enable people to "do the work themselves" with their anxiety. The lowered blood pressure can lead to someone furtherin this by maybe slowing their breathing, centering their mind. I would argue the primary difference is that Benzodiazepines do all of the work for you.
 
It'd be a good thing to have pagoclone or related compounds legally and reliably available like that brave Dr. Nutt proposed - it is the most selective anxiolytic out off its substance class called Z-drugs (even when pagoclone isn't called zagoclone) and lacks some side activity which minimizes the addiction and withdrawal/rebound risk which all so-called downers and more specifically GABAergic drugs share. I liked pagoclone, it's not ethanol, if you want alcohol then go for the minty tasting 2-methyl-2-butanol (which happens to be like 10x as potent as vodka, thus minimizing the body and liver load, because less substance to process) but GABAergics are nice indeed. Zolpidem, if you want something which only lasts for 1-3 hours.

Clonidine only makes me uncomfortably tired. I'm still looking for a good sleeping aid which doesn't come with the whole bunch of GABAergic risks, seizures and whatnot, also the docs around here don't like prescribing benzos.

Some people seem to get good reactions to antihistaminergics, primarily promethazine but also hydroxyzine - they don't work for me, but might for you and don't carry addiction potential.
 
benzodiazepines
gabaergics
gabapentinoids
weed (from pharmacist)
skeletal muscle relaxants (eg cyclobenzaprine)
an array of pain meds

if you haven't tried it yet, i recommend CBD/hemp
Yes a good quality full spectrum CBD oil (even better with thca too), does help keep calm.

I do notice, regardless of the amount of kava and benzos and weedI use, if I laze a day skip the CBD I notice it.

I use 1 ml of high quality 6+% full spec daily.

However…I STILL seem to need a gazukaton of kava and benzos no matter CBD or no CBD, but that’s me, at this time.

I do value, appreciate, rate, and recommend CBD though. The science speaks for itself. Like, science that I actually trust lol!

Just need a decent product as with all can vary so much.
 
Weird, I seem to be the only one so far who feels absolutely nothing even from a solid dose of CBD. It helped tremendously to reverse a THC induced panic attack so I know the stuff was real and active but alone it does nothing and if I drink the whole little bottle. I'm strange when it comes to weed. Once did half of a spacecake send me to sleep, once was some low-strength outdoor weed pretty nice but also very very subtle, just everything really noticeable I didn't like so far .. :/ would love to have weed at hand as it's maybe the most abundant or easy to source drug..

have you tried high cbd low thc hemp? theres more than just cbd in it, but the d9thc % is lower than 0.3% so its legal.

Also to the OP, You should try black seed oil, its sold at grocery stores.
Also a mixture of lemon balm (different than lemon) and chamomille is nice, sometimes i do all these herbal remedies together :)
 
My bad. Didnt read the whole post. I belivr rverything i listed is addictive... cept maybe the weed and cyclobenzaprine, for some.
Definately phenibut but this is also potentially adictive. Hell, anything and everything can be addictive. Doubt anything would be addictive if only taken as described; only when facing a stressful atmosphere.

lol thats why i reacted with a haha smiley
 
It seems kinda like kava or kratom in that some people love it and others feel nothing
I'd say anybody not having a tolerance to the point of withdrawing when not under the influence of substances will feel at least something from both kava and kratom. Of course as always, dosage is very relevant, but for me CBD is more like St. John's Wort - in that it does nothing at all. Tried it up & down on the search for something natural and this stuff was hyped pretty well. Also happened to have made some good experiences with a synth cannabinoid, UR-144, when I usually don't even tolerate weed - the point was that we applied this UR-144 to industrial hemp which probably contained CBD and/or other active non-THC ingredients, but to me the effects are limited to acute THC/CB1 effects where it takes a huge edge off.

Yes but that rap probably only partially applies to kava.

Kava is the best legal freely available clean as houses biologically, addiction wise and for brain chemistry balance and health, which is being held back from wider use, popularity and simply acknowledgement.

Because of 3 things really- Crooks/sham patenting “encapsulating” businessmen who give zero shite that their dud, phoney Kava Capsules or extracts on Amazon or Etsy do Jack all, together with the resourcefulness or lack of, in so many, who fail to look/see past this.

Just thinking…ohhh, Kava extract. It’s cheap, I’ve heard of that think I’ll give it a try, it didn’t work….

When the real gold is right there beside the wonky toadstool at the end of the real Rainbow.

Just totally dud, useless products, many many try that route, lured like Magpies to the glittering foil, ultimately disappointed.

Worse than them just missing Kava this lifetime, they become a part of the unwitting global collective perpetuating the “Myth” that Kava does nothing, or is a mild antidepressant at most.

As a man who just plugged a milligram of LSD 28 hours ago holy wow lol, like 1500 ug oral really or more….kava wrecks me. It’s proper. You just need PROPER kava.

Prepare it right. Use the right amount. Empty tummy best, like Kratom, followed with fatty meal kicks in the effects.

The other huge misunderstanding with kava- Reverse Tolerance. It’s fairly common, but doesn’t occur with everybody.

It requires daily drinking for days up to a few weeks at most, before suddenly from feeling virtually nothing, the full effects of kava kick in.

It may involve priming of the neurotransmitter system in some people.

Kava is very balancing for brain chemistry, totally unlike Kratom IME and O (lol), hence one being physically addictive, WD’s (Kratom) and one not.

So on top of the literal mass of unwitting “Kava doesn’t work I tried dud extracts/capsules cheap from some nameless prick on Amazon/Etsy” myth perpetuators, we have another camp who if they made it past the German Shephards and actually got some “actual” Kava, worth its name and weight in…(I’ll say LSD lol as “salt” is so old), likely gave up after one, two, 3, 4 or 5 times, when if Reverse tolerance was a factor for them individually (it never was for myself), they needed to drink for longer to just overcome that.

Then, it’s literally like riding a bike. Leave it in the garage for a year go back it rides like new still.

So it’s these two factors mostly responsible for the travesty of an injustice kava receives in terms of notoriety and public awareness.

The third factor, is plain misinformation. Fear of liver toxicity. It’s a massive lie. I always make the analogy…Martian comes down so Earth… “Cannabis? Isn’t that meant to be bad for your lungs?”

Before you can even answer, literally, he’s left the building gone to Pluto to find some banana skins to smoke! Lol.

Kava is absolutely, not dangerous or harmful for the liver.

Seriously everybody here who reads this please take heed and help the cause of dispelling these myths and disinformation.

You just absolutely must always separate kava from alcohol by a minimum of 24 hours.

So there in my opinion an understanding, Are the three primary reasons why many people have adopted the mistaken view that Kava does not work for them or is just a mild antidepressant.

I could not have made these points yesterday because I was proper gone on LSD I’m still feeling electrically high now after a 4 hour hyber-kip been up managed allergies, so I’m ahead! Feeling good. Made some insanely strong Tongan kava, equivalent to 36% THC Weed relatively in the Kava world.

I never was so naive, lazy, daft really, to not say right, gonna try kava. Dig, dig….here we are. Every top vendor and cultivar in my reach, I’m still trying the field, it’s a big field but no way was I gonna get Magpie lured by those fake nameless Robot businessmen.

Again, or anyone wants legit legal kava links, info, science refs, just shout me anyhow anytime.

So high still. What a trip. Most intense 1000 ug LSD I ever took. Most I’ve plugged before was 600 ug and that hit harder than an oral 1000, my long favourite dose.

1000 plugged, fantastic but I’ll not go higher than 600 ug plugging again, just not necessary.

So it’s now a 4 am post trip, electric body high afterglow kava session, then some weed vapor gonna sky me up there on the acid again I know it.

Kava goes brilliantly with LSD, calms, eases, and potentiates too.

And with cannabis. It really takes the edge off the anxiety of THC felt at times.

Hi. See my little outlay perspective on Kava just above. CBD, not being consciously noticed, that’s very common, and in theory, is to be expected.

It’s non psychoactive. But CBD still works in unseen ways, as long as it’s decent product, it’s healing and regulating to the body’s nervous and immune and endocannabinoid system. Anti-inflammatory, facilitates more restful sleep patterns or depth of cycles.

I’m extremely body intuitive, I can feel every little things I eat, take, etc how it feels, works or doesn’t.

Some people are not oriented that way, so even when there is a subtly noticeable but invisibly grander effect it’s unseen.

Kava is not like CBD, though I fond they complement.

Also, Pipperine in black pepper, enhances cannabinoids effects by “Slowing down the degradation of the cannabinoids inside the receptors”, So for years I have been taking our home-made full-spectrum cannabis edibles with a good dose of organic black pepper.

Right. Second glass kava. It ramps up with each shot. Good strong stuff this one. Anyone want a ref shout.

You forgot to include face masks. They can be addictive for some too lol.

Haha, I am confidently predicting within 2 years we will see people attending counselling, More billions of the taxpayers money LOL to overcome their phobia of taking off the mask even if they are the only person in a sterile bubble, And others who have become so attached to the mask they feel incomplete without it and I’m not joking about that. Hahaha.

Still well high excuse my erratic humour. Apart from tiredness and fatigue increasingly calling me back to bed, I feel OT of the world mentally.
 
Maybe gabapentin or pregabalin in the right dose but you would have to play with it before you dosed it in public.

Also have read reports that both can cause dependence if used heavily. I've never had that problem but plenty have so be mindful.
