Theres a difference between the body needing a drug and the body building up a tolerance to a drug.
GABA can get past the blood brain barrier with the help of, I think it's Niacin, as well as fruit juice, it's just very difficult.
Benzos can be addicting but usually aren't. Too many people on this forum forget that their experience or their friends experience with a drug isn't everyones experience.
It's not unreasonable that the doc is concerened about addiction but that he's sticking to such a low dose of Ativan is. I would search for an alternate med or doctor.
