Everyone who has posted about the issue you asked about agrees that you are a very responsible, low-dose benzo- taker. While after many, many years you are probably having slight tolerance issues, you are so clearly not addiction- prone. The relationship between you and your pdoc is probably making you feel like an addict; he probably thinks you are there because you are one. Keeping in mind how careful you are with medications, and being open to the possibility that a slight medication increase would improve your quality of life is a much more realistic and constructive way of looking at things.
There are about 30 psychopharmacologists in your area. Without changing doctors, why not get a consultation with several of them? I feel certain there are people who will trust you and work with you in a truly helpful fashion.
