I cautiously would say Quinton's on to something worth considering. I also wonder if just cutting down a little on any benzos would be pointless in that it would put you in a greater state of withdrawal, if that does turn out to be the case of what may be happening. (?) I'd almost suspect you'd be better off either just switching your dosage times around strategically and/or not cutting, or cutting them out for a period altogether (tapering properly, of course).
Strategically- I mean, for example, (and pending doctor's approval), what if you took the long lasting valium earlier in the evening, and then it could wear off by morning so you wouldn't feel groggy then? If you took valium earlier in the day, and couldn't sleep at night as a result, what if you then took the xanax at bedtime, with the thought it would be easily worn off by morning? That kind of thing- but again of course, a doctor would have to figure some of that out and approve it.
