Would be great if it could be used for rapid cessation without serious withdrawal symptoms.

That makes sense. Allopregnanolone is critical for the function of GABA signaling especially as it relates to mood. I wonder if low dose fluoxetine could do the same?

See section 4.4.3 of [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3321276/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3321276/)  


&gt;Moreover, co-administration of the neurosteroids allopregnanolone or pregnenolone (but not dehydroepiandrosterone) prevented the development of tolerance after chronic treatment with either triazolam and diazepam \[[154](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3321276/#B151)\].

Co-administration of neuro-steriods with benzos may prevent tolerance. Thoughts?
