Somewhere you aren't.
Hi everyone, long story short, I have quite a high tolerance to benzos, when I really should not.
I am on a medication called Mirtazapine, and have read this can cause this side effect.

Friends can feel a big effect from 20MG diazepam, where as for me to get to the same level I need around 50MG.

I do not use often, maybe once a month, so not tolerance.

I recently obtained some flubromazepam, and have read reports of people falling asleep at around 12 or so MG, but at 32MG I get a slight buzz.

I generally use them now for the days when I have crippling anxiety, when none of the techniques I have been taught help.

I was also a serious alcoholic, have been dry for 4 months now, and I understand they both work On GABA, could this cause a cross tolerance explaining why it takes me so much more to get an effect?

Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance. Warrior.

Not really that high, since 1 mg of xanax = 20mg of diazepam, so 50mg is rougly 2.5mg xanax? or 2.25mg clonazepam.
