Corafree! I had typed out a long and thought out response yesterday to the questions you had asked and somehow when I went to post everything was gone....grrrr! It was probably due to me using Safari (apple user here) ..I will try to re-do the post, except this time writing down on paper then typing. I can type very fast but over the years my ability to compose a message on the fly without getting too lengthy has diminished. See what I mean? Hah.
I'm glad you're getting some fresh help, I knew it'd happen. I have been on 10mg x 3/day Valium. My current script is written this way. However I take 10mg x 2/day right now because I'm doing the Klonopin taper. I will in less than a week be cutting another .5mg Klonopin down and taking probably 30-40mg V daily. My suggestion is to try for an increase in your Valium script. I really think Valium is a strong benzo, it's just that it's not as "compressed" as the other benzo's in it's composition. Plenty of people take between 2-4mg Klonopin daily. Using the common equivalency chart, 4mg K = 80mg Valium. I, for one am not afraid of big numbers in this case!
