I'd give mirtazepine a try as an antidepressant/anti anxiety drug at a dose of say 30mg at bedtime. You can take this along with your SSRI
As for cutting down on your benzos, have a look at the Ashton protocol..... you transfer your self to Valium (a mild, long acting benzo) and slowly discontinue this by say 1mg per week so that there are no withdrawl symptoms - it might take 6 months, but so what, time is somthing we have plenty of.
