When was the last time you heard someone say, "I started on 20mg prozac 4 years ago and I am still doing great on the same dose"? Probably never. More likely it is something like, "20mg prozac worked sort of for a little while and then I had to go to 40mg and when that stopped working I went to 60mg and now 4 years later it doesn't seem to hardly work at all anymore."
Why do they single out the benzos and opiates for tolerance issues, when in fact every single psychiatric med I can think of is equally guilty? The only exception might be lithium or a rare situation.
