I hope to hear some more success stories.

Nothing works like benzos do - in the short term. The problem with them is that your body requires more to keep the same level of anxiety reduction. I started out, over 20 years ago, taking Klonopin prn. Somewhere along the line it was prescribed to me at 2mg/day. I've been stuck on it, it doesn't help anxiety anymore (not for at least a decade), but I'm physically addicted to it. I'm currently trying to come off it - a very slow process.
Benzos are not a long-term answer to anxiety, unfortunately.
