A member asked:
Do gaba receptors upregulate and restore tolerance after stopping use of benzos and alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzodiazepines: Yes they will return to normal after cessation of use. You build a tolerance to both or one or the other if you don't use them simultaneously. You shouldn't be mixing alcohol with benzodiazepines or narcotics.
