Misc Anyway to tell when your GABA is fried?

Hello,

I'm just wondering if one can test for this. Have recently started to worry, even though I haven't abused CNS substances for long I went through a 200mg etiz binge a year ago, stopped, and ever since then have been drinking alcohol and taking phenibut intermittently for insomnia and anxiety, often both to potentiate. Never went beyond 1.5g phenibut FAA, and experienced minimal withdrawal from both phenibut and etiz. Perhaps the alcohol has been prolonging it? If I don't have a CNS for 3-4 days I start getting eye pains, depression, insomnia, phobia of seizure etc.

Recently got back on the etiz to cut down on drinking and went on a 20-50mg binge the first day, followed by around 1mg for a week.

Today I tried drinking and it took me a lot (for me) to even feel it. I had 1 liter of 5.5% beer followed by 4 shots of 40% whiskey with food from 7pm-12pm and felt stone cold sober until the final shot, after which i started feeling drunk/wobbly and had to take a shit, hehe. I know this is lightweight compared to you veterans, but I remember just 2 years ago I was getting a nice buzz after a 330ml bottle of beer...

Should I be worried?

Thanks.

The reason you didn't feel the alcohol much is etizolam has a cross tolerance. You didn't have that big of a dose of alcohol (if you didn't do anything else). 7 servings of alcohol over 5hrs would just get me a little tipsy and I have no tolerance to benzos or alcohol I'm not even 21 yet.

Also 20-50mg of etizolam in a day is crazy. There's a huge dose difference between 20-50mg, either way you were probably blacked out. I've been on 200mg+ binges and I never had to start out with that much after a break, 1.25mg of Xanax gets me good now. Remember benzos don't give much of a "high" don't dose so ridiculously
