cross tolerance


Recommended Posts

It seems as tho this is what has happened. any benzo I try is going to fail so I'm giving them up. I'm tired of chasing the anti anxiety effects when I myself can calm myself down. It's just so frustrating how something can work so long then poop out. Oh well story of ly life.

Are you sure they're "pooping out" on you or that maybe you just don't get the initial sedation anymore? Like you actually FEEL anxious anyway? I've been taking benzos for years, and I haven't found that they've pooped out on me. I just don't get that feeling that I did initially anymore. Meaning I don't feel sedated. I just feel normal. Maybe that's what is happening to you?

Well, mine haven't stopped working, I just don't get that whole sinking into the couch warm fuzzy feeling from them anymore.

But if you say therapy really helps, then maybe that's the route you should go. If therapy could help me, I'd be off the damn things. Not that it HASN'T helped somewhat, just not enough. Maybe I didn't do enough therapy work on that either, though.

Whatever the case, I hope you find something that works for you.

Cos if I didn't take a benzo I would be a criple and not be able to do anything. And I don't rememeber ever saying that I have no anxiety. Maybe because the meds are working I just have it in my head that there not.

It fluxes from a 1 to a 4. four is where I get on here and start to obsesse why I'm having anxiety. But you got to take what you can get.

If being on the internet both increases your anxiety and causes you to obsess about anxiety perhaps the solution is to disconnect from the internet and avoid both anxiety and obsession, eh?

having trouble understanding this. for me anxiety is such a distinct and teriible thing-really rotten and benzos wipe it out-I do be careful with them and I do put up with lots of anxiety-I really do-cause I don't want to take them. iuse them most of the time only to get me through things that are very important in my life cause then I wouldnt do them and my life would shrink
