There was a period where I took Benzo's and nothing else to function and it ended badly due to my mood instability. Benzo's can dis-inhibit us and lead us to do more crazy things than we would normally do, and that is what happened to me. I was not diagnosed as bipolar at the time and ended up a train wreck. If you only have GAD then you should be ok as long as you are aware of the addictive qualities of Benzo's. Benzo's do not solve mood issues in the long term, they tend to make them worse. Perhaps you should talk to your psychiatrist about this. Take care.
