A member asked:
If i take 0.5 mg of clonazepam each day. is that enough to develop a tolerance? (not dependence)
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It is enough: Tolerance is a state of adaptation to a drug which results in a decrease of the drug's pharmacological effect over time. As a result, a patient will need an increased dosage of the drug to produce the same effect obtained initially by the smaller dose. Hope it helps.

Yes: Tolerance to benzodiazepines can occur at any dose.
