Hi there,
I live in Ontario, so I feel somewhat qualified to answer your question.
These two meds are fairly standard and I don't think you will have difficulty finding a doctor to fill them.
That being said, *some* GP's might suggest that you come off the diazepam and increase the Effexor.
However, because you have taken these two meds for a long time, without dosage escalation, I don't think you will have difficulty.
I would simply get a note from your psychiatrist explaining that diazepam is needed, and I don't think you'll have any difficulty.
Benzos are still widely used in Canada, and if an individual has used them safely for a period of time, there should be no issue.
