Not benzo alone: I would not recommend a benzodiazepine for long-term anxiety, although it can help from time to time. You need to see a psychiatrist for comprehensive evaluation for best recommendations in your case. Antidepressants that are not habit forming but do have anti-anxiety effects can be very helpful. Also mindfulness-based cbt provides long-term benefits that out-last meds over time.
