It's an old question but I am not completely sure apart from all common pharmacology knowledge.
How are your personal experiences with benzos?
Did you have tolerance to benzodiazepines (which bz, how long, how much, for what)
thus the need to elevate the dosage from time to time for the same effect or did you have no problems with tolerance?Did you have dependence (which bz, how long, how much, for what)
, you were not or almost not able to taper down the benzodiazepine or did you have no or almost
no problems with dependence?There are possible differences between benzos metabolizing in nordazepam eg. Valium
and other benzos like Xanax xr (alprazolam), Klonopin (clonazepam).Thanks for every personal experience, response, thought, knowledge...
