I know I'm repeating myself, but, over time, the benzodiazepines have benefitted me much more than any of the various antidepressants I've tried.
I've had some success in minimizing my regular benzo dose, but I've reached a level beyond which I become too frequently subject to dangerous levels of anxiety.
