I know the hell very well. I've been taking benzodiazepines on and off for 35 years, but never once have they given the desperately needed relief from anxiety and depression that you mention. I take them because they're all I have and are better than nothing. I used to use alcohol. Now there's a dramatically effective drug for you! But I had to stop as it was making my condition MUCH worse over time.
None of the ADs seem to help, nor Lithium. I've never tried anything illegal, except pot a few times which actually caused a panic attack on two occasions.
So of course I get rattled and defensive when it looks like the only thing that helps is going to be taken off me
