Go for the benzo. I have also used them on and off for over a decade. Routine physicals with full bloodwork have revealed no problems. You just can't beat them for sudden anxiety/panic. They knock it right down. I carry some with me everywhere. For your case klonopin might be too strong if you slip up. It is quite powerful with alcohol. Try valium. Be wise about. It should calm the jitters as you make your transition. Just don't abuse it or use it with alcohol. Keep the dose as low as possible. The bad rap benzos got from some high profile abuse stories is unfortunately depriving some from a very useful tool.
