I have never experienced, and never seen, any need among folks to increase their dose of a benzo. I have been on and off for eight years, and the same small dose that helped me the first time is the exact same one that still helps me. Much scientific literature also backs this up, in stating that people rarely escalate doses of benzos for relief. I personally think that is a lie the pharmaceutical industry thrust on people to push their more expensive (and much less effective) antidepressants.
My only concern with benzos os that they sometimes can nag on depression a bit, and sometimes make it worse. Taking a brief break from benzo use seems to fix this fine.
