Hey Sessamoid, good point.
I have a potentially stupid question, however. Having just finished my first year of med school means I'm still allowed to ask stupid questions, I think...
Since the Benzo dose-response curve levels off at high doses and does not cause death/respiratory depression like barbituates, couldn't you just give an extra large dose of benzo's to a patient that goes into status who's been given flumazenil previously (essentially trying to out-compete the antagonist)? Clearly it'd be better to avoid the situation in the first place, but I'm just posing a hypothetical here... What would be the consequence?
(It's the last summer off of my life, I don't know what the heck I'm doing here asking questions...)
