i was wondering about this for a while. for benzos, opioids or any type of medication that will result in a violent physical withdrawal when stopping after prolonged periods of use.
let's say you use a steady dose of your given drug(s), NOT constantly ramping up or yo-yoing the dosage... after many months, or even years, will there ever be a time where your body will just be so used to it and be like 'fuck you this ain't cutting it anymore i need more or else i'll go into withdrawal'?? so i'm not talking about having to raise the dosage for effectiveness on treating symptoms but having to raise the dosage just to avoid withdrawal at a certain point.
reason i'm wondering is because i have heard this about benzos. i read this somewhere on this site or another but the subject didn't expand any further.
that's a scary thought to me. however, in theory it makes no sense to me.
