"i have a very high tolerance for meds (all meds) always have, even as a child.  woke up in the middle of surgery at 7, after give twice the adult dosage bc i couldn&#039;t go to sleep.  i noticed on opiates they help but minimally.  i noticed for a brief period when i had benzo&#039;s for my anxiety, it aided my pain meds.  but they took me off for another kind and my opiates for pain and anxiety relief weren&#039;t being helped at all.  they just switched me and i notice the same aid to my medication the benzo&#039;s provided minus the fog.  it doesn&#039;t help with my severe chronic pain on its own (i wish it were that easy) but i find that my meds works so much better in conjunction.  my gabipentin seems to work better too. :) finally i can live a little better"
