WIth respect to tolerance of the benzodiazepines, more tolerance develops for the sedative/hypnotic, muscle relaxant, and anticonvulsant effects. There is less tolerence for the anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and anti-panic effects.
For example, many people take the same dosage of Klonopin or Valium for years for anxiety. However, if you are using benzodiazepines to help you sleep, they usually loose their effectivness in 7-10 days.
