Benzo tolerance

Posted by FredPotter on March 5, 2007, at 0:37:12

I think I've grown benzo tolerant (after 42 years of taking them). Dr Shipko of the Panic Research Institute says the tolerance refers to the side effects not the anxiolysis, which should remain intact.

If we really do become tolerant to say Xanax, would it help to swich to Klonopin or Ativan for a while and then switch back and keep going round them? Or are they too similar?

The fact is I don't get panic attacks now (quite) so is that down to Xanax? Or have I grown out of them? However I get pretty unrelenting general anxiety (not worry - free floating: I don't know what I'm afraid of). I sometimes think it's more like PTSD, except I don't get flashbacks of memory but of the feeling I had at the time, when I was very young. Sounds like Freud's description of neuroses.

If anyone can help I'd be very grateful
Fred
