Any supplements/nootropics to take to aid in repairing GABA receptors from heavy benzo abuse?

I had been abusing benzos very badly for about 6+ years, and I was doing up to 40-50mg of flualprazolam for a while (not a typo), I had seizures coming off but it wasn't too bad. It's been 4 and a half years since I came off, and I tried to return to some normal benzo use in lower doses, but I find I still feel dizzy and bad after taking them, same with alcohol, I get a shitty comedown feeling a few hours after even a couple drinks.

Is there anything that can help my brain repair this more than it can on it's own? I'll never go back to daily benzo use but they are incredibly helpful as an occasional anxiety medication, and I do want to be able to occasionally take one or have a drink or two sometimes.
