Or will I have withdrawals going from long-acting to a short-acting benzo? I currently take Valium 10mg tab 3x a day. I would ideally switch to Xanax 1mg 3x a day (of which I used to be on). I've become tolerant to Valium to the point that I only take it to avoid withdrawals. I've been on it for 4 years.
I know Xanax is much more potent but it just seems like it may be just too damn short in duration to replace Valium. Klonopin is a no go because it makes me depressed. All other benzos I've been on over the past 20+ years. Valium, Xanax, Klonopin, Librium, Tranxene, Ativan, Serax, etc. I need relief, and out of all those listed, only Klonopin, Xanax and Ativan are stronger than Valium.
Thanks for any replies.
