Dear Jan,
Please remember that everyone's experience is different as we don't all have the same physiological makeup in our brains. What works for one person does not work for others, etc.All I am saying is that some people seemt to become tolerant of a benzo immediately and keep upping the dose to find no relief. Others like you and I have been taking a benzo for 20 years or more with relief not upping the dose. It is dependent on your individual chemistry as laima pointed out. You and I have both lowered our dose of benzodiazepine. But now you are having increased anxiety. Could it be tolerance withdrawal? Maybe.
No one here can prescribe what is best for *you* personally. I think you need a pdoc you can really trust to help you; no one should have to live with acute anxiety all the time. Some people are helped by psychotherapy reducing anxiety. Rooting for you, Jan.
Love, Val
