My advice is to steer clear of benzos if at all possible, and if you do take them, make it short-term, if possible. Benzos can be very effective, but they can also lead to tolerance and interdose withdrawal, which can make your depression and anxiety worse than they were to begin with. Phillipa, I know you've taken benzos for something like forty years, and they've helped you. Many people can handle them long-term just fine, and many people can't. I'm one of those who can't.
