'''Anxiety suppression''' can be described as ~~the~~ partial to complete suppression of a person’s ability to feel anxiety, nervousness, general unease, and negative feelings of psychological tension.

'''Anxiety suppression''' can be described as a partial to complete suppression of a person’s ability to feel anxiety, nervousness, general unease, and negative feelings of psychological tension. The experience of this effect may decrease anxiety-related behaviour such as rumination, muscular tension, panic attacks, and restlessness. This typically results in feelings of extreme calmness and relaxation.

Anxiety suppression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[disinhibition]] and [[sedation]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[anxiolytic]] compounds which primarily include [[GABAergic]] [[depressant|depressants]], such as [[benzodiazepine|benzodiazepines]], [[alcohol]], [[GHB]], and [[gabapentinoid|gabapentinoids]]. However, it can also occur to a lesser extent under the influence of a large variety of other pharmacological classes which include but are not limited to [[opioid|opioids]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]], and [[SSRI|SSRIs]].
