“Afobazole”
“Afobazole is a Russian anti anxiety pill. I've taken it several times and it works, generally, like a charm, without clouding your judgment one bit.”
“It had powerful anxiolytic effects at times, while seeming to not be effective at others...reliably: improve memory/recall, make me super sensitive to all GABAergics”
