How come Valuim, Xanax ect. Benzos do nothing for me?

Question

My name might indicate im a alcohlic but its just a BS name I use for spam. Anyways, I do not have a tolerance to benzos (daily use/even weekly) I try to take them here and there to help anxiety or sleep and they do absolutley nothing. Even at 20 mg valium or 1-2 mg xanax just have no effect. This is strange to me and I do not have this problem with any other meds. Is my liver just a sponge or what. I was thinking about trying Kava kava or valerian root wich are natures benzos but again I am reluctent to even waste my money. WTF is going on. Some plasma level thing I dont understand. They even gave me a high dose of Halcion a while back for a MRI and it made me anxious. Has anyone else ever had this problem..if so want work for you?

Yeah magnesium, I have heard that before can someone elaborate

Answer 1

Some people have different reactions to medication. You need to talk to your doctor to find something that works.

Depending on your weight, you may not be on a high enough dose. But you should talk to your doctor instead of just self-medicating.

Answer 2

Yes. I can't take benzos because they make me hyper...which is the opposite of what they should do.

Try magnesium. It's a natural muscle relaxer that just knocks me out. Non-addictive. Get it in the vitamin aisle.

Answer 3

Here in Italy there's a medicine called Minias which is pretty good to help you sleep.5 drops are just enough and it won't leave you sleepy the day after.Ask in a pharmacy if they got it and give it a try.It's very good.
