Benzo(a)pyrene is one of the main byproducts of open flame (i.e. a constituent of smoke) as from a fireplace, or a cigarette. It's from incomplete combustion. It has nothing whatsoever to do with benzodiazepines.
If you're interested in paradoxical symptoms from benzodiazepine tranquilizers, you might find the lists at benzo.org useful.
http://www.benzo.org.uk/index.htm
Select 'symptoms' from the left hand column, and read any of the first four links that comes up on the right hand (main) frame.
I think you'll find that your symptoms are classic ones arising from long-term use/tolerance. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about it, and the only advice I've got is that you might consider going off them all. Endure the withdrawal, and hope that you get some benzo response back if you want to consider restarting them. Hopefully, your doctors would help support you through such an stressful time.
If my paradoxical experience to oxycodone is instructive, it is well worth doing the withdrawal under these circumstances, despite the difficulties presented by withdrawal itself.
