the thing about benzos is you take them until you realize you don't need them anymore. sometimes the sum total of anxiety for any given year is more on benzos than off benzos. gaba receptor interference every day with a short acting benzo may cause some of the anxiety. might consider clonazepam and titrate down that way? i think your problem is gaba related and not dopamine related. paranoia isn't necessarily always a dopamine issue. paranoia may be partially due to dopamine in your case, but it's not always solely dopamine.

suggestions at the health food store:

magnessium citrate
ashwagandha
turmeric and black pepper extract
fresh ginger juice
loose leaf chamomile and lemongrass calming,

heavier things to consider
benadryl, kava kava, cbd, melatonin

for me, my digestive health is linked to my anxiety. it might be different for you. try to identify what the source of the anxiety is. is it dopamine or is it serotonin or is it gaba
