A hearty "Completely Right", ASV. Tolerance is needing higher and higher doses to achieve the same results.
I am always very dismayed by the lack of understanding in the factors of the use (proper or improper) with benzos. It is especially unsettling when found in a community that should be as informed as possible especially if they actually USE this class of meds. Dealing with the misunderstandings of the general public is bad enough----
