Tolerance is not the same as brain damage. Just because something doesn't work as well as it originally did, doesn't mean there is brain damage.
Receptors downregulate and upregulate in response to changing levels of a neurotransmitter. Some people get a full tolerance to a benzodiazepine, some people don't. A few tips to help it continue to work include:
- keep the dose as low as possible
- add other calming supplements (niacin, gaba, tryptophan, taurine, magnesium etc)
- don't oversleep if possible
- have something to offset daytime sedation (i.e. caffeine)Linkadge
