Long term use of a benzo can actually make the anxiety worse.
As can long term opiate use can cause more pain (hyperalgesia).
Have you asked your doctors for a taper plan?
You might find it beneficial to also check out the anxiety forum. Valium would certainly need a taper because of your length of use, but I suppose I am confused as to why you would even be coming off it. Has a doctor directed you to?
