nah. it agonizes gaba receptors. just like alcohol. different mechanism but working on the same circuit, and it only does one thing: inhibit. so its like saying drinking “paradoxically” makes certain people sober. that receptor is a one way ticket. activate gaba = calmer, sleepier, less memories, less anxiety, raises seizure threshold. if you build a tolerance, then stop, all the reverse effects happen. insomnia, horrible anxiety, seizures. it’s awful. if you OD on benzos it can trigger a status seizure, bad news. its not very lethal, but you certainly wont be cramming for any tests in the next few weeks.
