Yikes, please tread carefully with this recommendation. I was on benzos and it literally took years and multiple attempts to get off them (yes, super gradual tapering and all.) My brain is not the same, definitely feel less focused and dumber even years after. I’d try any alternative.

Yeah that's why I said they're not a good long term solution. I was prescribed them (klonopin) and I took them for a month. They worked well, but I started reading benzobuddies and other sites and it scared the hell out of me so quit quickly and now rarely touch them.
What was the dose you were on and for how many years? Messing with your GABA system long term seems to take a long time to repair itself.
