>I'll sometimes wake up with a sense of unshakeable doom I'm sorry you experience this. Its very unpleasant, to put it lightly. What you're experiencing is the down regulation of GABA in the brain. Personally when I use GABAergics like alcohol, I always experience an increase in negative thought patterns after. I now avoid them like the plague, but they do have their uses for things like general anxiety disorders (as a last resort only IMO) and acute issues like panic attacks (this is where they shine) Regular or high dose use (most drinking patterns that I've observed) will cause down regulation more readily than having a drink or two once a year or so. This is also beneficial as it minimizes the cancer risk associated with drinking
