I've been taking the benzos as infrequently as I can, maybe 3-4 times a week at most. And I'm currently prescribed 1mg a day, which I rarely go over. As soon as I'm able to get in with with a pdoc I'm going to ask for something less addicting for my anxiety.

I hope they'll be able to give you a med that helps OK. Unfortunately the most kind of drugs that most people feel better with are the benzos.

My pdoc wants to give me a benzo for bad anxiety, like my phobia of the stairs. I told him how bad it was to come off them cold Turkey in 2013. But I think I might only be able to deal with the stairs alone with a benzo.

Anyway, it's a relief that the house is your parents! I hope your brother can take over for you.
