There are certainly things that can, to a small extent, give you the relief that benzos do. The most effective and clean are skullcap, lemon balm and zizyphus. Zizyphus is contained in many traditional Chinese medicine formulas. Can you get some guidance with those? I have found them very helpful. I could tell you what I take, but it is very individualised. It would, certainly, be a non-stimulating formula with zizyphus in it.
Acupuncture can help too, but perhaps depends on the practitioner, and anyway, you would need it every day.
I assume these herbs are not addictive in the same way as benzos. I cannot believe they would be as hard to give up. But they help because they affect the same receptor, I imagine.
