In reply to Tolerance does NOT develop with benzodiazepines, posted by JohnM on May 17, 2001, at 18:43:07
John - Tolerance does occur to the psychomotor side effects (ataxia, dizziness, "stoned feeling", etc >), but not the anxiolytic activity of benzodiazepines. Unfortunately, many people equate the psychomotor side effects with the anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects and when then "benzo-feel" is not there, many of these people increase their dose to get the psychomotor effects back.
I hope that this is of some help. - Cam
