In reply to Does benzo tolerance level off?, posted by coplo on December 7, 2004, at 15:41:45
Dear Coplo,
You should stop increasing your benzo dose and add something like an atyptical antipsychotic in lower doses. Benzo use can be a problem if you build up doses consistently. But simply adding another medication that eliminates anxiety plus worries will help you stabilize on a particular benzo dosage or even help you to reduce it. There are plenty of options if you are in Europe like Amisulpride, sulpiride or if you are in USA try Abilify or seroquel. Even neurontin is found effective for some. In case of constant dose escalation, it is not advisable to continue benzomonotherapy. Take care.
PLS
