But to be honest I think I'm just going to ask for 10mg tablets or maybe some Xanax. Taking them regularly would obviously be a bad idea so however awful I'm feeling I try not to. But once every couple of weeks, before an important appointment, I think it's necessary for me!

You mean they won't give you more than 5mg at a time?
Sounds like we're using them in different ways. I've just been prescribed 5mg twice a day to get me through a bit of a relapse. Prior to that, I didn't have or need any. I'm taking them more frequently than you at the moment so it's a different situation.

I'll tell you what - if benzos didn't come with issues of dependence and tolerance, they'd be a godsend.
