> Its a GABA agonist just like benzos but binds to some certain receptor which i guess in theory makes it a pure hynotic lacking the anxiolytic effects of benzos. So its basically a clean benzo of sorts...the exact same way ambien is.
It is sort of a GABA agonist, it works upon certain parts of the GABA-BZ. There's very little anxiolytic effects from it. Clean is in the eye of the beholder, since it has that lovely nickel taste, which I can stand, for a while. I don't take it currently.It can have crosspollination with benzodiazepines though, so if you are on a higher dose of benzodiazepines, habituation can come to one or the other or both.
