In reply to What Do You Do If You Develope A tolerance to Benz, posted by Phillipa on December 19, 2006, at 22:28:14

i say find another p-doc. If you've been on benzos for 20+ years, there's going to be *some* tolerance, but come on: 20mgs/valium is *nothing*--thats 1mg/Klonopin. The same docs who gasp at a patient on valium will write out prescriptions for 2, 3,4 or more mgs/day of Klonopin and/or Xanax. Its ridiculous.

You could try switching...Ativan might be good. Maybe using something benzo-ish (but not a benzo), like sonata or ambien for sleep, and then using the valium during the day would be good? Or..finding another p-doc.

Good luck.
