lorazepam lowers your dopamine levels....

its heavy on gaba, and lowers dopamine levels, but its good for anxiety and test anxiety, but that's proably why

Yeah, it helps test anxiety but it will screw up your results.

I perform ok with test anxiety in written tests. It helps me not to make careless mistakes. However, if my social anxiety is triggered as in an oral exam or presentation, I get problems. I hope for a future medicine as effective as benzos but minus cognitive side effects and addictive potential. An optimistic hope I admit. What do you think? Can it be done? Safely?

lorazepam....it does, yes again decrease dopamine levels, so when your in frount of a class or people, it can hault oral presentation, because of a bit of sedation. I don't know exactly a scientific method, one - you could add nuerotin which is very good for social anxiety, not potent as lorazepam it keeps you at bay. 2nd - crude awenser just drink a small amount of caffeine with lorazeoam before a discussion, get in frount of mirror, abd pratice, and pretent that youor in frount of alot people. This way, you can figure out, if small dose of caffeine would stimulate dopamine, even under lorazepam.

I waas on lorazepam for 2 years, made me relax and very good for anxiety, but yes i once had to get infrount of a class, but i was taking a stimulant. So it made moe alert in explaining.

Im afraid Neurontin doesn't affect me anymore. I also take Trazodone during the day without being tired. I take high dose Neuroleptics and I am still alert. So some stuff doesn't work on me anymore like it would for others.

There won't be oral exams or presentations in my course of study for a long time.
