I should also note that tolerance to the myorelaxant (muscle relaxant) effects of benzodiazepines never develops. For those on diazepam, a dosage of 40mg/day should not be exceeded to avoid respiratory depression, especially in those with sleep apnea. They won't develop a tolerance to this effect.
Muscle relaxation is currently believed to occur by action of BZDs on the spinal cord instead of by action on GABA alone.
alprazolam (Xanax) 1mg TID
black tea: 3-4 cups/day
GNC Ultra Mega Gold vitamin supplement, BIDDx: panic disorder, MDD (unipolar, melancholia), perfectionist, probable PTSD
