Nope, I haven't found that to be true » TylerJ

> No, but Ativan has helped somewhat. But after taking it for 20 years I don't think it's helping much anymore. My pdoc says that if you have built up resistance to one benzo-you basically have built resistance to all benzos. Do you think this is true? Because I would like to try switching to Klonopin.

Personally, I reacted differently to ALL the benzos I've tried. If you develop tolerance to one, you are not necessarily going to be tolerant of another. Yes, the mechanism of action is basically the same, but the molecular structures are different, and your reaction can be very different, too. It's probably worth trying klonopin, in your case.

As for ADs without poop-out, I have heard that MAOIs don't poop-out the way the newer drugs do. And I haven't heard too many complaints here about TCAs pooping out. The SSRIs, though, *do* poop out, as do the SNRIs.

Hope that helps.
