Hi,
Most of my panic level anxiety has gone away over the years and I've sort of smoldered into a more predominantly dysthymic state. I can spin myself into a pretty anxious doozy if I allow the committe in my brain to go on obsessing about this or that for too long, but the benzos really aren't very helpful for me in dealing with that. They slow my cognitive function and make me a bit dippy, but the obsessive worry is really not helped. Somehow I have realized that nothing is ever really worth panicking over, and the obsessive worry seems to be best treated with other kinds of meds (as they are tolerated by someone so med sensitive as I) and cognitive principles. I have found ways to get over myself and my self absorbed misery a bit, and I try to spend less time in my head. These days the benzo's (and to some extent all meds) seem more of a liability than anything else to me. When I was flaming with anxiety they were helpful relief, but in my current case they are kind of a drag and I'm looking forward to ridding myself of them completely in a slow and comfortable fashion.
