docs are weird about valium. 20 mgs isn't a lot. 40mgs/day was a pretty standard starting dose in the 70s for anxiety..then it got the "Mother's Little Helper" rep, and now docs will rx lots of Klonopin (keep in mind that 2mgsK=40mgsValium) and even xanax (although that's falling out of favor) and ativan, but they won't raise valium doses high enough. oh well.
Maybe switch to xanax? Klonopin is the "it" benzo at the moment but...maybe if you switch to an older doc, they'll have the wisdom to rx something that works, not just what's hip at the moment.
Good luck!
