I haven't done it, but I am pretty certain
that if you go to PubMed to look at articles
presenting exactly the contrary of these
conclusions, you will find them.The point I find interesting in your post
is the one about tolerance. I will grant
you that tolerance need not develop until
maybe 5 or more years into a benzo dose, but
once it does, there is the danger both for
the patient and the doctor, that new symptoms
crop up. These symptoms may not even be
recognized as tolerance-related. BTW, I think
it takes about 3 months to get addicted to Xanax,
and then gradually the effect fades and more is
needed.All narcotic and GABA drugs are like that-- any
doctor worth his/her salt should know that. It's
old school stuff.Clonazepam remains a mystery to me - i am speculating the least likely-- that I am actually
withdrawing by taking the same dose for 15 yrs,
but the brain has changed in the meantime and God help me if i try to quit again.Squiggles
