Substances that affect the nervous system should be taken with extreme caution. Here you will find the effects of mixing two of them, alcohol and anxiolytics.
Anxiolytics are one of the most prescribed psychotropic drugs Today, they are obtained even without going through a mental health specialist. This, together with the normalization of alcohol intake, means that both types of substances are often combined, sometimes due to negligence and other times due to pure carelessness.
Nevertheless, Mixing anxiolytics and alcohol poses great health dangers, both in the short and long term. As both drugs are depressants of the nervous system, the risks increase exponentially when combined, approaching respiratory arrest or coma, among others.
Therefore, in this space you will find the reasons to stop drinking alcohol while you are being treated with anxiolytics. Don’t miss anything, well The daily use of both substances does not make them more harmless to health.. Let’s go with it.
Effects of anxiolytics and alcohol on the nervous system
The first thing you should know is that both are depressant drugs of the nervous system. This means that they will slow down or reduce the activity of the central nervous system.which is beneficial in anxiety disorders, characterized by its overactivation.
Taking anxiolytics helps to achieve a feeling of relaxation and alleviate symptoms such as catastrophic thoughts.
For its part, Alcohol also performs inhibitory functions of the nervous system, but in a different way. As intake increases, the effects range from behavioral disinhibition to alcohol coma (overdose) due to the affectation of the brain areas in charge of vital processes.
What happens when you mix anxiolytics and alcohol?
Although anxiolytics are becoming more common, they cannot be compared to the normalization that alcohol has in everyday life. Many people are not willing to give up its use and for others it is such an ingrained part of their daily lives that they do not take into account its interactions with other drugs. When this combination occurs with anxiolytics, we find effects such as the following.
Predisposition to accidents
Mixing anxiolytics and alcohol affects motor control functions, such as coordination and balance. It also has effects on concentration, alertness and memory, which is why accidents such as falls, cuts or blows are more frequent.
Taking benzodiazepines and alcohol together is associated with a 7.7-fold increase in the risk of suffering a traffic accident.
Enhancement of depressant effects
In addition to being both substances that inhibit nervous activation, ethyl alcohol has the capacity to enhance the effect of benzodiazepines, one of the groups of drugs most used for the treatment of anxiety.
This agonist effect increases the risk of respiratory arrest due to the involvement of the associated nervous centers, as well as the comatose state. This is due to the pharmacokinetic action that increases the concentration of these substances in the tissues.
Behavioral alterations
Contrary to what is popularly said, “drink to forget,” alcohol makes the feelings associated with memories become more intense. This, with the addition of behavioral disinhibition, makes people more active and even more violent in the conflicts they have open at that moment.
These unresolved problems, added to anxiolytics and the disinhibitory effect of alcohol, would cause anxiety to grow until behaviors typical of nervous breakdowns occur. In turn, this behavior would escalate existing conflicts and cause new ones to appear, creating a worsening of the pathology.
Greater rebound effect
Anxiolytics are also prescribed to induce sleep in people who suffer from insomnia. Others turn to alcohol to seek this same effect, a product of depression of the nervous system. However, both substances share the rebound effect: a few hours after their action, the symptoms of nervousness and anxiety return with greater intensity.
Therefore, the quality of sleep obtained is not good. When anxiolytics and alcohol are mixed, the rebound is much greater, which is why you do not sleep well and the symptoms of anxiety are not attenuated in the medium term either.
The importance of psychological therapy
Simply prescribing anxiolytics for anxiety and stress is not enough to alleviate the problem; And what can we say about alcohol intake, as harmful as it is dangerous when it becomes chronic. It is at this point when The need arises to accompany pharmacological therapies with psychological ones.
Treatments with anxiolytics should not be extended beyond one year to avoid adverse health effects, such as nystagmus, drowsiness, dizziness or word articulation problems.
Therefore, If you think you might be suffering from anxiety problems, it is best to eliminate alcohol from your life until you solve it. Remember that, although a priori It may seem harmless, mixing anxiolytics and alcohol is a decision that will not only aggravate your symptoms, but will also expose you to life-threatening dangers.
