urban legend of benzo tolerance was squashed.

James here....

Please remember, benzos taken everyday for anytime
more than a few weeks can show tolerance and withwrawal
problems if stopped at once. It's best to taper at this point.
If you are looking at long term I don't think the addiction is
a big issue if the meds improve functioning. On some days leaving
the house means taking 1mg Atavin or having a really bad day.
In general, try to take a little as possible without taking too
little to really control the problem.
