I have found that Zyprexa lets me reduce my benzo intake with almost no withdrawal effects. However (and this is a big however) there are hazards such as weight gain, diabetes and general lethargy. Also, there is severe rebound insomnia if you ever decide to quit. Nevertheless, I am suggesting this as a possibility since you seem to be a life-long anxiety sufferer like me. You could go on the lowest dose (2.5 mg)and see how it agrees with you. Who knows, you might be able to get right off the benzos with the help of this minimal dose. Having said that, you must realize that benzos are very safe and that if you are doing well on a certain dosage (even if it is high) who cares? You are living your life as best you can and not hurting anyone. Anything is better than chronic anxiety.
