Tom,
I'd be careful of the "I expect to feel a nice euphoric relaxing reaction" expectation-it just causes the desire for more and more benzos-same thing with booze. The benzos are really for becoming functional, not for feeling "better than normal". I think the desired state with benzos is to calm you down sufficiently that you can do the stuff in life that you want to and are obligated to...I feel I have to not ask myself how I feel each day, but rather adjust benzo intake to the point that I feel calm enough that life isn't miserable, but alert enough that I don't lake motivation or excitement. And them stay at that dose, period. It's a fine line. I have to do the same thing with booze: no more than 3 glasses wine, no matter what, no matter how I feel. Just my way of dealing with the whole thing...best of luck!
