In reply to What Do You Do If You Develope A tolerance to Benz, posted by Phillipa on December 19, 2006, at 22:28:14
You can develop tolerance from using benzos as prescribed- even my doctor acknowledges that. I think your options are to either increase dosage, or to try another medication, as Blueberry suggests. I have experienced cross-tolerance with different benzos, so I am not sure that switching to a different one would necessarily be the answer. In fact, I've heard that some doctors switch people around on their benzos when they wean then off. Good luck, Phillipa!
> A lot of people including my pdoc have said I may have a tolerance to benzos even though I've never abused or raised my dose without it being prescirbed. As you know the holidays are stressful and I'll be traveling with dogs to my Daughters in Florida and she's the road rage type. So what do I do? Already called and asked the pdoc for something to sleep other than the valium and now I see it's only .25 of xanax with the valium 20mg. I have to survive. Love Phillipa
