From what I have read and experienced, complete tollerance does not always develop to benzos.

I remember taking clonazepam monotherapy for an anxeity disorder. I a constant dose for nearly 6 months, with consistant theraputic effect.

Tollerance built to the subjective well being that the drug produced, but overall, my anxiety had been kept under controll with a constant dose.


Withdrawl was straightforward. It was not like SSRI withdrawl at all. SSRI withdral made me want to jump off the nearest ledge. Benzo withdrawl just made me anxious.

SSRi withdral was so much significantly worse than benzo withdrawl it was not funny. SSRI withdrawl was whole body, I had to relearn how to walk, how to speak, etc etc, and my god it lasted forever. Infact I still consider myself going through SSRI withdrawl years later. There are problems I am having now that a single dose of an SSRI will ameliorate.

Anyhow, enought of that.

Just give doctors enough time, and they'll gain the proper prespective on the whole SSRI's addictive/benzo's not addictive issue.
