Benzodiazepine Tolerance

Posted by Jim Bob on September 14, 2002, at 23:00:23

Hey everyone,

I'm sure this has been discussed many times before, but could someone give me a brief low-down on benzo. tolerance?? For example, in someone who has abused benzos. at high doses in the past, how long does a tolerance to benzos. last? Is there cross-tolerance between benzos.? I once tried to suicide by overdosing on valium, and took around 200 mg. On and off I'd taken 20-30mg/day for anxiety relief prescribed by a different pdoc. About a week ago I was on klonopin and was taking around 3mg per day. Now I've been prescribed valium 5 mg. 1 or 2 times daily, and I'm really not feeling any effect. What should I do??? Help!
