Sorry about not answering this in the last post. I was not under the influence of a benzo that night. I did take some lorazepam once after a string of sleepless nights, and felt wonderful.
Since I'm not supposed to do that while in the study, and realizing how confounding such a postive response to another substance could be, my guilty conscience took over and I haven't done it
again. Whatever is going on with me and EtOH these days, it's either due to the selegiline or "endogenous". You're right: These things can be difficult to predict, and I've definitely had
days where I "felt it" more than others. I think though, this time around, I really am more sensitive. I mean, two pints and I'm already feeling silly. It could be that I'm just feeling
happier. I don't know. I do know that amnesia is not something I experience often, and the times that I have, I have consumed so much alcohol I was uncopiously ill and excruciatingly hung
over the next day. Such was not the case this time around. It was very odd. But there it is: I simply don't remember huge chunks of that night at all, and did a particularly dumb thing.
Hence my deep concern about consumption. I do enjoy both the recreational esthetic and anesthetic experience, but if it compromises my dignity or safety to any extent, game over.
