Well, I can tell you that I have the same tolerance problem with my glasses. I strated with -0.75, now -3.5. I used to be happy with my sight before I had glasses but now I can't function without them. And I would probably shoot someone if he stole my glasses (-:

Benzos are OK for several weeks. I have been taking them for years but I'm paying in slower response times and memory problems. The dark side it that you don't even FEEL those impairments. Now for most people with professions this makes little difference, but for some it's devestating. Of course it returns to normal after you stop.

So to sum up - take it as much as you like, understand that it makes you less bright while you take it. If you have chronic problems, consider ADs first. And yes - I would go to a different Doc if he refuses to prescribe doses <= 4 MG / day of Xanax or Klonopin.

Persoanlly, I think Valium is a bad benzo as it has, along with its metabolite, too long a long half life. Xanax, Ativan or Klonopin are good alternatives, each feels a bit different.
