I find taking diazepam is nothing like a glass of wine. Its a bit weird, I take it and forget about it and then I notice an hour or so later that I feel less anxious. If my stomache was churning it has usually calmed down and I just feel less anxious. Alcohol feels totally different less 'smooth' less relaxed.
Im sorry you cant get your GP or pdoc to prescribe you a benzo, I know its no consolation but they do actually do it, my GP prescribes me diazepam and a pdoc has prescribed lorazepm, so maybe if you persevere you will get a result. I would stress to your GP that you only want it for the short term to get through the tough patch you are having. I think already being on a drugs they respect can help too. If you are already taking a drug they think works for anxiety like an SSRI and can say you still feel anxious then perhaps they are more likely to give you a benzo rather than prescribe an antidepressant which I gather you havent had much success with.
Best regards, Bunny
