Hey, don't feel ashamed. It is good that you are questioning your treatment.
There has been a shift in psychiatry away from the use of benzodazapines and other tranquilizers for long term use anxiety disorders.
Basically doctors think they are addictive and so they won't prescribe them long term. While there is some truth to the idea that they can be habit forming, it is also true that the drugs they are using in their place may not be all that great for other reasons.
Using AP's for anxiety disorders carry many risks including movement disorders.
