GABA Withdrawal Question

[Renz Envy]

If one is going through even mild alcohol or benzo withdrawals, will adding a stimulant greatly increase the risk of serizure?

The question has been on my mind for quite some time as the normality of this situation is a panic attack until the stimulant wears off, however I feel as though the increased brain function could also exacerbate the risks of seizure.

I wouldn't risk it. I cant see a stimulant helping at all going through benzo withdrawals. I've W/D from benzos many times and it's awful to say the least. Just make sure you don't stop CT, i've made that mistake and was put into another world in my head. Fucked up shit. Wean off of the benzo or alcohol slowly or it can kill you.

yeah stimulants always raise the risk of seizure SOMEWHAT, and if you are withdrawing from fucking benzos it's definitely a BAD idea to take any stims.

Of course. From my previous experience, a cup of coffee during my minor clonazepam withdrawals made it very difficult to talk to people.

I too avoid any stimulants while withdrawing from benzos. I tried it once.. didn't do it again. That horrible anxiety is not worth it.

What do you mean "GABA withdrawal"? GABA is a neurotransmitter and a health supplement. Are you talking about withdrawal from GABAa receptor agonist drugs, such as alcohol and benzodiazepines?

And what stimulant? (although I would say it's best to avoid any stimulants)
