How long will it take after tapering off rivotril to reach close to 0 tolerance to benzos? i was told 2-4 weeks previously, just want to make sure.

Zero tolerance??: May be the case for a day or two, but tolerance to substances you have been dependent upon, whether alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines, re-develops rather quickly, within a day or two, may take a week or so to get back to where it was, but if you are re-exposed, you will quickly redevelop tolerance at your previous level, or at least close to it.
