Abstract: Benzodiazepine withdrawal induced anxiety is treated by administration of an enkephalinase inhibitor, and a gamma-aminobutyric acid (“GABA”) precursor, or an endorphin or enkephalin releaser. These components promote restoration of normal neurotransmitter function and are non-addictive. Use of the enkephalinase inhibitor D-phenylalanine, the GABA precursor glutamine, the serotonin precursor 5-HTP, glycine, and taurine, in combination with coenzymatic functionality of folic acid is preferred for activation of ligand-gated Cl? channel in the central nervous system. Food supplement embodiments provide the human body nutritional supplements to intake certain neurotransmitter precursor substrates, thereby enabling patients of all ages to self-regulate their ability to quell perturbations to equilibrium and simultaneously to adverse effects upon normal physiological and psychological functioning attributable to induced anxiety and panic associated with benzodiazepine withdrawal.

Abstract: A food supplement compositions combining suitable precursor substrates with folic acid, whereby methionine is produced in sufficient quantity to produce a sufficient quantity of met-enkephalin specially formulated for coping with stressful assaults upon the human body. By a coenzymatic mechanism folic acid effectively accelerates the transformation of a substrate primarily comprising DL-phenylalanine, L-phenylalanine, L-glutamine, and L-tryptophan to met-enkephalin end product. Use of this food supplement enables enkephalins to accumulate within the human hypothalamus, thereby increasing the levels of endogenous opioids. By increasing endogenous opioid levels, the human body is engendered with a self-regulating faculty for coping with stressful assaults upon physiological and psychological equilibrium.
