> Definitely have built up a tolerance. I'm taking 7.5mg of valium a day & .5mg of xanax a day both at night. I used to take higher doses and just cut down over the years as they used to perk me up and now just make me tired. Phillipa

Hi Phillipa,
Tolerance to benzos builds up quickly (for most people). Is there a specific reason you take both at night? Perhaps try changing the dosing schedule. I'd take the Xanax (or as others suggested, Ativan) at night to help with sleep, and the longer-acting Valium during the day. It could help to split the Valium up as two doses (5mg in the morning and 5mg in the afternoon).
