> Jay what do you mean that benzos get at the root cause? I thought they were like a bandaid? Love Phillipa

Okay, the root cause is biological almost entirely and as far as we know fairly genetic. But if we step beyond that, I was referring to the root cause as in the firings of transmitters.

A real root cause is something only found deep within psychotherapy or the like.

But what I really meant is that benzodiazepines modulate GABA and actually, yes, like a bandaid in a way, stop the relative essence of anxiety itself. The off label use of non cardioselective beta blockers address peripheral functions, primitive brainstem impulses that create sweating, autonomic responses, hand tremors, etc., rather than modulating a neurotransmitter GABA.
