If seroquel and/or remeron are going to help you, they should do so within one day to a week. If they aren't helping by then, then I would get to a doctor and get back on a benzo. Maybe all you needed was a small dose increase. Or maybe just the addition of an ssri or remeron to a slightly higher dose of the benzo.
Compare the costs of seroquel/remeron against a benzo, the longterm risks and complications, and the overall benefits/side effects for most people, and I think the benzo wins by a long shot. Just my opinion though.
And if you are comparing longterm physical dependence of a benzo to an antipsychotic, they are both very strong in that department. It has taken me 4 months to wean down from 5mg zyprexa.
