Anxiety suppression: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''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. The experience of this effect may decrease anxiety-related behaviour such as rumination, muscular tension, panic attacks, and restlessness.

~~Psychoactive compounds which consistently induce this specific effect are referred to~~ as [[anxiolytic~~|anxiolytics~~]]~~. These~~ compounds ~~typically~~ include [[~~benzodiazepine|benzodiazepines~~]], [[~~alcohol~~]], [[~~GHB~~]], [[~~gabapentinoids~~]], ~~and various other~~ [[~~GABAergic~~]] [[~~depressants~~]]. However, ~~this effect~~ can also occur ~~more indirectly~~ 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]].

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]].
