I think if it is going to work at all, it has to be tried before you try any benzos. In my insurance carrier I end up getting sent to these large centers out of big hospitals and med schools. And they have large problems with prescribing benzos. I started out on klonopin from a pcp and they wanted me off it quick, luckily a nice pdoc there said if you need it you need it honey. But he was a resident and said unfortunatley my boss is not gonna agree on this. And when i ended up at another center i was put on BuSpar. More for side effects but it was for anxiety, i never noticed a darn thing. I came off it and saw a nurse practioner in the same practice and she put me on it again and pushed and pushed the dose almost convinced it was gonna work and I almost passed out at school one day. There is something about that med that causes extreme lightheadedness even when lying down, my mother had the exact same experience with it. I thought it was the most evil medication ever. I felt no lifting of anxiety only more and more strange weird feelings in my body. It could have been different if i had tried it off the bat but I am still skeptical but i know for a fact it doesnt work if you try a benzo first and the doctors know that but they still give it to you anyway cause they are just so hung up on not prescribing them
