hi. docs can be weird about benzodiazepines. some are easy breezy, as long as you don't have a problematic history and you're not asking for high doses, etc. other docs have anti-benzo dogma going in a big, big way. it really depends, honestly.

gabapentin works for some people, daily or as needed. i dont much care for it, but when i need to sleep, it gets the job done. lyrica is like super neurontin, but it is a controlled substance. its schedule V, less controlled than the benzos in schedule IV, and long term use does require a slow taper. its also new, so insurance coverage is sometimes an issue.

prozac sometimes helps w/ obsessive thoughts and such w/o so much weight gain. i think its one of the more stimulating ssri drugs. it is combined w/ wellbutrin at times, although again...the doctor should be careful, because of the seizure risks.

other than that, straight up ocd is sometimes treated w/ luvox, but its not very popular. i dont know the adverse effect profile.

sorry about all this. psych drugs...not fun times, usually. i hope you and your doctor can find a work-able solution.
