A member asked:
If you develop a tolerance to benzodiapemes can that tolerance be reversed by abstaining and if so how long does it take? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzo tolerance : yes, tolerance can be reversed however I don't know that there's good evidence to show how long that will take. However if you have been taking them for a long time frequently, then be aware that stopping them cold-turkey can cause withdrawl. Talk to your doctor about how to taper off, then see if it's healthy to consider using them again or finding an alternative
