Tolerance certainly forms, even for much smaller doses than that you have been taking.

Yes it does.

Valium is Diazepam, which is a Benzodiazepine just like Alprazolam (Xanax), Clonazepam, etc.

It's in fact the benzo that they use clinically as the metric for comparing the strength of the other benzo's:

So yes, regular use of valium will form a tolerance, a quick one at that.
