Black Seed Oil GABAergic activity in those recovering from benzo dependence

I've started taking BSO after reading about it in a few threads here, and I'm just floored by how awesome this stuff is. I was kind of expecting snake oil after reading about how it helps with a massive list of unrelated afflictions, but nootropic/anxiolytic/antidepressant effects are undeniable. The only thing is, I've been extremely sensitive to compounds that mess with GABA ever since going a little too hard on the benzos last year. GHB, for instance, makes me feel a little off for a few days after. Most people do not experience any side effects from responsible use of that drug. Heck I recently found out that even the ashwagandha I was taking is a GABA agonist, so I ceased using it and got all grumpy and anxious for a few days. Not so bad, really, but for someone trying to rehab their receptors back to a virgin (or near enough) state, it's frustrating when most solutions you turn to seems to have the ability to slow recovery.
So, back to BSO: I can find no accounts of any side effects, withdrawals upon cessation, etc. But I'm also struggling to find any studies describing exactly how it impacts GABA. I'd like to carry on taking it, but I'm extremely hesitant to jack my shazz…

Any plans of carrying a good BSO?

Yes, for a while now. Need to get it okayed by our bank first, though. That will take a bit.
