'''Anxiety suppression''' ~~can be described~~ as a partial to complete suppression of a person’s ability to feel anxiety, 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''' (also known as '''anxiolysis'''<ref>Anxiolysis definition | https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Anxiolysis</ref>) is a partial to complete suppression of a person’s ability to feel anxiety, general unease, and negative feelings of psychological tension.<ref>Medications for Anxiety, Panic and Phobias (PsychCentral) | https://psychcentral.com/lib/medications-for-anxiety-panic-and-phobias/</ref><ref>Anxiety medications explained (Psychology Today) | https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/anxiety-help/201111/anti-anxiety-medications-explained</ref> The experience of this effect may decrease anxiety-related behaviours such as rumination, muscular tension, panic attacks, and restlessness.

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]].
