I feel I need more valium to control my anxiety and pain but my doctor will not increase the amount 3x daily - 5 mg - I would do better with at least 6x daily. How do I convince my doctor?

Thank you for your response. I am currently taking valuim which is prescribed for muscle spasms, as well as anxiety. I really do appreciate your feedback and will consider the addictive aspect. It seems I'm trading dependance-addiction for a better quality of life.
