So let me start off by saying i am a former long time benzodiazipine user and have finished my taper from them 2.5 years ago however i still suffer from protracted issues such as brain zaps, headaches, blurry vision, anxiety, brain fog. Anways I have a impacted wisdom tooth and possibly a molar that needs to come out. I have sat on this for such a long time due to fear and since i abused benzos in the past im out of luck for any mainstream options to keep me clam during this procedure. The idea of beta blockers came to mind however i read that you shouldnt take beta blockers when getting local anethesia, I want to try and get carbocaine without epinephrine by the way.
Anyways i need some idea's on what i should do. Im afraid of getting put to sleep and i dont have insurance so it would probably cost too much anyways. Im basically stuck with being awake under local.
One possible thing i came across is afobazole for anti-anxiety effects and it shouldnt cause a problem with GABA. Other than that i have no idea. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.
