Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Did you try counselling also? See Benzodiazepenes are good drugs but can have varied side effects and obviously can be addicting. I would first like you to visit the psychiatrist and get proper counselling done dear along with the drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
