However, they induce drowsiness and are highly addictive. These are most commonly Valium, Serepax, Temazepam, Rohypnol and Xanax. Benzodiazepines are GABA agonists so they imitate the role of GABA and stimulate activity at the site of a postsynaptic neuron where GABA is received from a presynaptic neuron. This means that they reduce the symptoms of anxiety by acting as GABA should. Studies have shown that benzodiazepines are effective in the management of specific phobias, panic disorders and other anxiety disorders. Alcohol also has similar effects on the GABA receptors, which is why alcohol is typically experienced as relaxing.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
