If a drug doesn't work, especially one with drawbacks such as the benzos, don't push it. Just move on to something else, and maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

I have to agree with you that BENZO,S are or can be addictive , bbbbbut when i had the 12mg a day stopped dead and withdrew worse than death itself. When my GP over ruled the nut ball shrink and gave me back 4MG it saved my life , the rest of the with drawl was murder but i some how made it through with my 4 MG Ativan, To this day years later i still take the life saving 4mg in 2 doses of 2mg , they still seem to work or maybe they prevent a relapse i don't no. but 1 six month shrink appointment another shrink suggested i withdrew again . The look on his face when my wife stood eye to eye with him and said YOU NEAR ON KILLED HIM ONCE , DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. wow what a gal
