hi! I personally don't see anything wrong with a rotation...just keep in mind they're in the same family, so cross-tolerance can easily occur. In addition, you might want a shrink who will actually USE the medicines available instead of acting in fear. A skillful doctor can prescribe useful but not oversedating doses of benzos for the short or long-term without any major consequences. Some docs I've had oppose benzos b/c of "addiction" but then hand out adderall like candy....its a ridiculous stance based on fear and ignorance, not science. If possible, find somebody better.
