>My main reasoning was this. The beta carbolines have a short half life. Probably shorter than the shortest acting benzo (I would need to double check that claim). Anyhow, say you needed to concentrate just for an hour, but you just took a long acting benzo recently. Have a cup of coffee?
Yes that is very true link, and I agree with your reasoning. I hadn't looked up the half-life of beta carbolines. I'm curious if they can cause benzo withdrawal symptoms in large doses? I can't say I noticed any when I was combining them with coffee. Maybe they antagonize different subsets of benzodiazepine receptors to flumazenil? Do you have a link to the study?
