The danger with enjoying it so much is that if you hit tolerance on the Valium, you’ll need more and more to feel good. And since you love that feeling, upping the dose is that much easier.
Walking a fine line with benzos sucks! Yes, I’ve been there…well, actually am there now. I’m out of Ativan and my current Rx has been waiting at the pharmacy for a number of days. I suppose I let it sit there just to prove to myself I am not dependent. But, I am not taking it regularly as regular use induces dependence and subsequent withdrawals for me.
So, my advice is to be aware of your dose and take note of whether it seems to become less effective over time. Sometimes I think these pills are the devil, but when things get bad they keep me from doing incredibly stupid things (I use mine to quell thought rumination when my coping skills don’t work.)
