(1) what I observed is that benzos can increase anxiety given at a too low dosage prior to anesthesia. If the dosage (which is individual) is increased the sedation and anti-anxiety effects kick in. The phenomenon is very often observable and this seems to be clear data at least for me.
(2) recently I heard psychiatrists talking that benzos increase anxiety by time saying 'what is when there's no gaba in the synaptic cleft anymore'. Furthermore they were talking of a false programming of the amygdala with benzos. I don't know from what scientific data they were referencing.
Probably somebody knows more here.
warm regards, always

I was trying to be good this morning and took maybe 1.5mg Valium and it seemd to make me anxious.
So anxious that I shall have some more with lunch.
Look, I believe you.
I would have been better without them, but they are not easy to give up.

Sdb just had anesthesia and they didn't increase my valium for the night before or that day so what does it mean? Thanks Phillipa
