Does tolerance reduce after period of abstention?

I have been without any benzos for 28 days following a 9 day stay in hospital. However, I have been suffering horrible w/d symptoms oand was intending to reinstate today.

I have a colonoscopy procedure next Thursday which I am not looking forward to. Also sedation is recommended for this using midazalom also a benzo.

Anyone have any thoughts please as I'm in a bit of a quandary.

Thanks.

I do not mean to criticize but i see this so many times, someone gets free of benzo's and they need some sort of sedation due to a medical procedure.

Can the colonoscopy not wait?

People have them without drugs too believe it or not.

I should know, my ex had enough of these.

This is a nonsense, no drugs are needed apart from the one to clear out your insides.

Hang in there.

Thanks for reply and appreciate your observations.

No the procedure cannot wait as there is perception that something more sinist

er is occurring .

Given the intolerable withdrawal symptoms there is no way I can attend in my current fragile state.

I repeat this procedure must proceed as planned. This is non negotiable.

Therefore I will undertake controlled taper under supervision of my doctor once results from procedure are available .

He is an excellent doctor well versed in benzos withdrawal issues.

Cheers
