Benzos Etizolam Tolerance Skyrocketed!

[sturdychinfilms]

I have a naturally high tolerance towards benzos and I've been on Etizolam for about 6 months. I used to get the pills now I get the powder and make my own solution just because it's much cheaper. I used to only use about 3mg as a therapeutic tool since I suffer from severe anxiety, however there were a couple of days (maybe 4-6) where I used upwards of 20mg of Etizolam a day, mixed with weed and just to have a good time. Since then my tolerance has jumped enormously.

I would say that I need at least a 10mg dose to get the same 3mg dose anxiolytic effect. The thing that is troubling is that when i take xanax(which is prescribed) there was barely an increase in my tolerance, and I could take the xanax (2mg x 2/day) and be alright. That is what I am prescribed.

I was wondering if anyone has gone through this massive leap of tolerance to etizolam. If so could you share your experience and if you found a way to lower your tolerance. I am going to be tapering off etizolam starting next week, but i fear that that is not enough to bring my tolerance down.

Any insight would help tremendously.

Thanks,

Sturdy

I built a fast tolerance to etiz as well. It does nothing for me now. I think Valium blocks it to some degree, or my dose (70-mg day) overrides the effect. However, I've tried etiz 20 hrs post last Valium dosage a week or so ago at about 10-mg. Nothing but slight relaxation.

I threw the rest (2.5 grams!) into the fireplace on NYE. No more RC benzos for this cowboy. Going to start the Valium taper when I feel like I'm ready.

Etiz lost it's magic early on for me, but I already had been prescribed Klonopin 4-mg for eight years, maybe more b/f I tried etiz. I also probably overdid it several times, or dozens of times.

At least I don't feel withdrawals, I guess the Valium is covering the 2 to 3-mg/ day clonazolam habit I'd built up along with a modest, every few days bit of etiz.

So, yeah it losses it's magic for some.
