Interesting.. what about the opposite? What dr"gs shuts down the amygdala? Maybe for a short period of time or even things that after prolonged use would effect it permanently

Caffeine makes me feel a sort of horrible dread and sense of hopelessness. I think it is a form of fear but it's not anxiety as I would describe it. It feels like the world is going to end and there is nothing I can do but wait to die, kind of paralysing. Like the opposite of jittery actually. One cup of coffee can ruin my whole day lol.

Waitttt does the link between the amygdala and fear also show through Autistics? When I was a kid I was scared of toilets. Lmao.

I had mild anxiety before a surgery. The doctor offered me Nitrous Oxide, and said I would feel euphoric. I felt terror. Pure fear like flipping a switch and turning 'fear' on in my brain. I also felt like I was paralysed, so I couldn't move the mask away from my face, and I couldn't speak. A nurse asked me if I was okay, and I remember trying to shake my head "no", as I lost consciousness. Then I had a serious of terrifyingly real 'dreams' in which I went back in time and 'woke up' in bed the night before the surgery, then went forward and 'woke up' in post op, then I was back in the pre-op room just before getting the general anaesthetic. I felt like I was dying and was more scared than I've ever felt. After the surgery I tried to ask what happened and why the Nitrous Oxide didn't work the way it was supposed to, but everyone was dismissive. I have no idea if it was something wrong with the drug, or with me. I've never heard of anyone else having a bad reaction like that.

When I was prescribed Gabapentin, I found that it muted my fight/flight response, which made crossing busy roads a very strange experience.

I can not feel fear in the moment it would be appropriate. I feel it later after the threat has passed. I also haven’t felt genuine fear in years, probably since childhood. Horror movies are very uncomfortable for me though and I am very susceptible to jump scares even when I know they’re coming. I’m also a PWSUD primarily benzos, opioids and alcohol for ten plus years of daily use of all three, only recently in remission from all 3 for the past two years. I hate thc and can take or leave stimulants.

one of my favorite anti panic "tricks" is careful application of incredibly cold water. drinking very cold ice water or submerging my head in ice water will often stop a panic attack in its tracks.

I can’t wrap my mind around someone feeling panic but not fear. With every panic attack I’ve ever had, I experience the “flight” of fight or flight, so I immediately have to leave where I am and go walk outside, constantly, until the panic attack passes. This could take hours and it could be the middle of the night, but that flight it absolutely driven by fear, even though I couldn’t tell you what I’m afraid of.

There’s no amount of CBD that makes me not have a panic attack when I take THC. Everyone swears they have the blend for me and nope. Categorical panic. Any amount of alcohol and IV Benadryl do the same thing. I’ve decided substances simply are not for me 😅 Which is funny because my tolerance for most pharmaceutical meds (including sleep meds) is suuuuper high.

A few decades ago I heard about research into drugs that helped erase memories but preventing the brain from encoding them. What ever happened with that?
