Well...if it works for you and your doctor has no problem with it, then it may be good. I know people who have taken benzos for over 10 years, there's alot of propganda from modern doctors today about older drugs that are addictive and they are ignorant that these medication can be helpful in cases where there needed. There mindset causes them to think to use sh*tty drugs that don't work, its vary annoying, sometimes I like to use dark humor with my doctor asking if I had severe anxiety and she would prescibe some sh*t like trazadone. Sometimes you have play along with their arrogance and ignorance. But there is something....Lyrica it does work similar to benzos but it does not have the addiction potential as they do, it does give somewhat of calming effect. Same to Nuerontin but it usally takes high doses of it to work for anxiety at high levels.
Good luck to you!
