> Another psychiatrist scibed a simlar dose, and having learned and read more, I took matters into my own hands and tried 1 mg at once. It worked! Not huge, but is the first drug or anything to have worked that I could reliably take for a long time. I switched docs just this week and have a new doc much more willing to experiment with benzos.
This is that "threshhold effect" I have mentioned here, learned from personal experience, as you, too, discovered.
> Whether benzos effects are wieght dependant I would guess yes, but I dont know of any literature to support this.
It may be more related to how much someone drinks, as there is a cross-tolerance between alcohol and benzos. Also how much "help" the GABA regulation system needs, which varies between people.
