There has been wide-spread extrapolation from research done back in 1989 suggesting that Etizolam exhibits a 'reverse tolerance' effect over 4 weeks of treatment. (This is definitely not seen with any of the other benzos).
Interestingly, there's heaps of anecdotal evidence stating precisely the opposite - that rather than helping to decrease benzo use, many people very quickly develop quite an appetite for Etizolam.
Probably the greatest consensus on withdrawing from benzos is to use those with very long half-lives - the ones that metabolize very slowly (like diazepam and clonazepam) and reduce their dose very very gradually.
By comparison, Etizolam has a much shorter half life and so probably is not useful in this regard.
Withdrawal is usually regarded as a long term project, not something that can be achieved over a few weeks for most people.
(But that depends on lots of factors, not the least being the type of benzo used, dose and duration of use, and the level of your determination to 'get free'.)
You might be interested to read information contained in the Addiction and Recovery thread too.
Hope this helps. In the end, it's what works for you.

There's a difference between having an opinion and having an informed opinion.
