We already have one. Give someone having a bad trip a Xanax and they're good.

Do benzodiazepines actually switch it off, or just allow the participant to relax (and maybe sleep it off)?

In my experience they turn the trip off.

You can still be awake, but you won’t be tripping any more, the sleep only comes if you actually lay down and try to go to sleep or take a large enough dose of benzos.

Xanax?

I came here to see this. We didn't have Xanax in Sweden growing up but we did carry Valium or Xanor. Xanor has the same active ingredient as Xanax. Someone claimed Valium would help too but I doubt it.

I only ever heard of this being used once to stop a bad trip, and I wasn't present.
