"Cross tolerance means that one drug will alleviate the withdrawal effects of another. It also means that tolerance of one drug will result in tolerance of another similarly-acting drug."

So if you get a steroid shot and react badly what does that mean? Is it similar to cipro and benzo?

It doesn't mean they are "cross-tolerant".  What you're describing is more like an interaction.

No.
