Hi,
Even though you needed 20mg/day in the past doesn't mean that you would need that much now. Being off the diazepam for a while may have reversed some of your tolerance, meaning you might be able to get by on a much smaller dose.
Would it be so bad to be on diazepam again? Did you have a lot of side effects?
Perhaps if you did go back on diazepam you could treat your remaining anxiety with another med which is less likely to be associated with tolerance. You don't have to be diazepam free, do you? Dependence is nothing to be ashamed off, despite what you may feel. Dependence on diazpam is mainly physiological, it is not a sign of weakness.
Regards,
Ed.Inderal is good for palps and tremor. Not much else!
