Triazolam tolerance

Hi again,

The only benzo I use (for the time being) is Triazolam, and that's the ONLY one. I am being prescribed it and I never take other benzos on the side (though I would if I could afford it ;)). Anyhow, last time I took it was friday and I get my next dose wednesday, which means on wednesday I will have abstained from it for 5 days (+/- a few hours). Will that be enough to lower me tolerance? Remember how triazolam has a very short halflife.

I usually take 0.5mg every other day, except on fridays where I usually take .75mg. Last friday I took 1.25mg, and I hardly felt anything, which is strange since I can usually feel 0.5mg. I may have just been too busy concentrating on something else to notice the effects. Either way it never puts me to sleep, but that's okay since that's not why I take it. I'm telling you this because I know triazolam is quite the potent benzo, and one should definitely be able to feel 0.5mg. There's no doubt I have a tolerance. I have been taking triazolam every other day for maybe 2 months now. Before that I took 2mg alprazolam every other day for also a couple of months.
 
a short week-long break will make your tolerance slightly lower for the first time you take it again. then your tolerance will be back to the way it was before you took the break.
 
How long would you say I need to stay away from it to completely remove my tolerance? I don't get w/d's by the way.
 
Welcome to the benzo rollercoaster i took 200mg valium last night with around 40mg estazolam and here I am straight as a knife a few hours later. Had 25mg of ambien and a glass of wine too...

IME stay away from them unless absolutely necessary Tolerance is the big downfall of benzos,i really wish they could design a benzo which does not build any tolerance.

Unfortunately im well past this stage of tolerance :( for me it has reached a level that seems humanly/medically impossible!
 
I need several mgs of flunitrazepam to feel much of anything. Or I was going ok with 6mg alprazolam, 15 mg nitrazepam and 40mg temazepam combined for a little while...

I'm going into benzo rehab today... Wish me luck.
 
Good luck Tripman. And I too need like 4mg flunitrazepam. If I combine that with 4mg alprazolam, however, I'm having a blast.

But is it totally impossible to estimate how long tolerance from a .5mg/every other day-habit would take to go away?
