> I'm not sure how withdrawal symptoms appear even in the presence of the drug. Is this another way of saying tolerance and needing a progressively higher dose?
Tolerance means that a higher dose than the initial one given for condition x, becomes necessary with time. Time varies according to type of benzo (with its half-life), length of time taken, and amount.
Withdrawals from the above conditions, will also vary, but are more like a corrollary to that and not the same as tolerance. So, you can have withdrawals of a different type and severity even with a small dose of say Xanax after 3 months.
