It really is best to only rely on benzos if you have to for one reason or another. It may sound absurd to you, but taking a drug such as an SSRI, Serzone, or Remeron which doesn't work as well as a benzo does will allow you to more easily develop non-med coping skills. It's a fact that people who go on antidepressants for anxiety disorders have a decent chance of having significantly reduced anxiety when they go off of them whereas people on benzos almost always have a return of their original anxiety _on top of_ the post-acute withdrawl symptoms which may last for months.

Don't waste too much time with antidepressants, though. If they don't work, Klonopin is a clearly indicated and excellent treatment.
