Is your doctor giving you an extended taper-down plan? I'm talking a few months.

I have used hydroxyzine/Vistaril 25-50 mg for anxiety for a benzo taper.

You'll probably need a med (antidepressant or something, depending on what your diagnoses are) that will help you sleep, too.

I have done a too-fast taper before with no support for anxiety. I had a year of panic attacks and sensitivity to brights lights and noise. It was very unpleasant. Coping mechanisms during that one: yoga, dark glasses and earplugs, staying at home a lot.
