Anyone know? My chemist doesn't have Tagamet (they said it's really old and hardly used anymore) but they had an alternative which was Zantac so I bought a small box of that. Will it potentiate benzos anxiolytic effects at all?
If so, how much to take and when, at the same time as the benzo, a bit before, after, etc?

Benzo specifically is Diazepam in this case.

Thanks in advance.
 
Nope too weak. Cimetidine is already a weak inhibitor.

Damnit. Thanks for the reply anyway. What's the best potentiatior, grapefruit juice? I'm just looking to boost the anxiolytic effects so I don't need to take as many to 'feel' it. Or does it just increase the sedation effect (IE: make you more sleepy?)
 
That abstract says cimetidine had an effect, not ranitidine. OP, white grapefruit juice will work, fresh grapefruit is even better. Eat a whole grapefruit about a half hour before you dose. Im sure this has been covered many times before.
