>And what happens when you build tolerance to benzos? Take another med or up the dose the later my doc won't do.

Yes, you can up the dose of your benzos if your pdoc will let you, but the anti-anxiety effect tends to fade away again just as it did in the first place as your brain builds up tolerance to the higher dose. The higher the dose of benzos you take the more unwanted sedation and depression you are likely to suffer with less benefit on anxiety over time.

It is possible to reset your tolerance level by withdrawing from benzos for a while or temporarily lowering the dose while adding another drug that has anti-anxiety effects to cover you in the period.

>ps percocet seemed to make me feel better at lpill per day but doc said they're addictive.

Have you considered buprenorphine then? It is an opiate like percocet but is supposed to have less abuse potential.
