Title: Benzo tolerance
Post by: barney010278 on March 05, 2013, 01:48 pm
Just wondering if anyone has had tolerance where benz dont work, im talking 100mg Val or 50mg Ativan and it does absolutely
nothing. Im desperate to get it back, Ive gone  3 months clean and then dropped 100 mg Val and still nothing, now Im aiming
for 1 yr clean

Dude, that is... shocking... it's way past the usual dose. I mean, people in serious mental trouble take 40mg PER DAY over the course of a day (4x 10mg). If you're taking 100mg and nothing is happening, then one of two scenarios are happening:

1. The drugs are bad or old
2. You've built such a high tolerance to benzos that you're in serious danger of dependency

2 is unlikely if you've really gone months without it or any other benzo.

Nothing wrong with drugs unfortunately, I know the doses are ridiculous but it was just my drug of
choice I guess, because it's legal I kind of made myself think its ok. But in saying that my Doctor who
is a specialist was saying he had a client who took close to 80 serapax a day.

Im really upset that this tolerance is going to last forever, they are a beautiful pharmaceutical.
I wonder if Rohypnol would have not effect on me either seeing its a benzo

I was on a lot of benzos through chemo, a lot of ativan, some xanax and valium, and then a LOT of versed with having medical procedures every time I turned around.  I developed quite a tolerance that I STILL have, and that was several years ago..  There are several medical procedures that I fully remember because they got to a point where they couldnt give me any more, the worst was a bronoscopy..  i have no idea if that is spelled right.  The tolerance is beginning to subside, but its still there - I had minor surgery a few months ago where they twilighted me with versed.  I dont remember the procedure, but they did mention the doses they were using were almost maxed out per the recommendations for my weight.
I keep ativan around by legal rx, but even at 5-10mg (which of course is no where near your dose, but I am several years removed from when I was on the most benzos) its really only taking the edge off a panic attack.

Thanks kittiesandpuppies, your the first person I've come across that understands. Most people think Im full of shit when I tell them the
doses but it's literaaly like your body is not affected by them what soever. It's not even like Heroin addiction where you feel low and it brings you back up to normal, I feel absolutely nothing I might as well be eating Vitamin C.

Well it sounds like you have got some of your ability to notice benzo's again , that gives me hope.
For you benzo uses just a little pointer, t make your benzo dose more amplified, add Clonidine, 150-300. I don't know the chemistry behind
it but later in my benzo abuse my doctor prescribed it for that exact purpose and it does work. I would say it adds about 25%  your benzo
hit.
