In reply to Less tolerance from Klonopin than other benzos?, posted by KaraS on July 30, 2005, at 16:05:40
hey! In my experience, it seems like the same rule that applied to the old-school barbiturates applies to the benzos: fast-acting, short-lived medications (xanax, ativan) have more problems with tolerance/dependence/problems between doses associated with them than do longer-acting benzos that may have a bit slower onset of action (klonopin, tranxene, librium). That said, tolerance in general isn't a *huge* problem with benzos, assuming they're being RX'd at sufficient doses...neither dose escalation nor tolerance are all that common in long-term use.
