I self medicated with alcohol and eventually went through withdrawals after a 9 day bender. I went cold turkey (I took 2.5 mg Valium a few times when anxiety was too much). That happened 6 months ago. I have no problem having a drink or two, but if I get drunk next few days are filled with unbearable anxiety. I assume that is kindling and my GABA receptors are messed up.
Since benzos work on same receptors as alcohol, am I going to have problems if I sometimes take benzos? I'm not talking about abusing them, but rather taking low doses maybe once a week, for when I'm in public and my anxiety is high.
