> It's like there are meds for opiod tolerance none for benzos? Love Phillipa How did I get them to work for over 37 years? Low doses?

Hummm...no Phillipa...I think I know what he want to said...I had the same experience with the Lyrica as well...

Took my first 50mg pill and had to sleep for more than 10 hours in a row...more a sedative action than a anxiolitic action like the benzos can do at first...

Neurontin is the same as lyrica but have a shorter half-life... I never find them very good for the anxiety and they tend to be good as neurotic pain reduction but nothing else... Gabapentin is somewhat less interresting because you always need to pop-up a pill or two because of the sort half-life...that annoying...The Lyrica is too sedative, even if it became less sedative over time...that's not working for anxiety...on me...

I wonder if the valporic acid or the Vigabatrin (Sabril) will help for the anxiety??? Or Something like Lamictal or Epival??? I never try them... One med seem to be interresting for anxiety and it's Gabatril, but it's only avaible in the States...not in the Canada...it's a gaba agonist drug...the others are more a sodium channel blocker or something like this and work more on the gaba-b...the benzos work more on the gaba-a...but that's so complicated..
