The problem with leaning on Dame Ethanol is that eventually it stops working and your equanimity is suddenly shattered into hellish anxiety from which there is no escape.

@tregeagle Rapid onset and short half life sounds promising. I'm an alcohol advocate generally, but off-label use of it as the only effective non-sedating anxiety relief, when I wouldn't otherwise fancy a drink, is to treat it with disrespect (and deserve inevitable punishment).

@tregeagle Ah, I thought I'd heard of it: #DLW was given #baclofen to treat trigeminal neuralgia (never get that; it's an effing nightmare). Turns our she's allergic to it. Went bright pink and inflated. Honestly, a nervous system is more trouble than its worth sometimes.
