Hi Tyler,
I'm no expert at all and this is purely my opinion based primarily on observing the posts here over the years. But I do not believe a benzo is a benzo. People who have tried several of them give clear descriptions of how they feel different. They are totally different molecules. Though they all work in similar ways, there are enough subtle molecular and cellular differences to make each one unique.An emergency room physician once told me that all benzos are the same except for their half-lives. I was polite, but when I left I got a chuckle out of that one.
I don't go by textbooks or doctor concensus. I go by what real world people at psychobabble have to say about their real experiences.
Some people who have been on benzos for decades have reported that they have a cross-tolerance to other benzos. But being that each benzo is a different molecule, I always think it is worth a try.
