Great you experiment. Fine if you do so without following the advice of a doctor, I guess (I sure do! ). Just realise that the effects will only be known after a while. Maybe a month or two, maybe three considering how many meds you took.

Do also realise that it's risky. You shouldn't downplay any problems or be afraid to seek help because of non-compliance.

Edit:
Just because I didn't read your post and this thread well enough, it has been said, but it can't hurt to also say it: quitting benzos immediately can (indeed) be very dangerous. I'd suggest to never ever take them again, but first lower the dose very gradually. Also mentally it's likely to mess with you so much as to maybe bring you back to square one in dealing with BP.
