Many people have been on long term regimens of benzos. My personal experience was with many years of low dose Klonopin use. I quit because I no longer needed it. My pdoc never had any qualms about it at all.
The internet is full of scary stories about everything. Those stories can really stir up anxiety and obsessional thinking at times, particularly in those prone to it (including me). My advice would be to talk over these fears with your pdoc, if you haven't already. Bring up your specific concerns. If need be, get a second opinion from an experienced doctor.
