While I’m well with regards to Bipolar I want to cut down on meds. We’ve got robots roaming Mars but cannot come up with a psych pill that ticks all the boxes without this kind of hellish downside.

If you can I seriously would recommend you wait a couple months after you have fully stopped Lithium before beginning a slow taper off a benzo.
I hear ya on the robot !
