I think diazepam is frequently overlooked and perhaps given a bad rap- it's relative low potency, non-sedative properties and long half life make it ideal for less severe forms of anxiety.I switched from xanax to a small dose of diazepam, and find it mild, unobtrusive and very helpful.
Also, as a footnote on benzo's, I don't recall one ever quickly destabilizing a patient by pushing him/her into a dangerous mixed-state or mania.
Long term, high dose side-effects are of course a different matter.
