There is quite a bit of evidence about benzodiazepines maintaining their effectiveness long term (mainly with klonazepam and alprazolam in panic disorder)
If anyone ever wants to withdraw you, seek referal to a different, more sympathetic psychiatrist. Given your record of not abusing the drug, I think most psychs would be happy to keep prescribing to keep you a functional member of the comunity.
If it stops working or tolorance sets in, drugs that block the 5HT2A receptor would be worth a look, and there are newer anxiolytics in the pipeline
