I hope you're seeing a good psychiatrist, not just a general doctor. There are so many treatments available now that your chances of getting better are excellent, but GPs by definition can't be experts on everything. And you may have to try a few different psychaitrists before you find one you can connect with, but it's well worth it when you do.
I wouldn't dwell on the past acid use. It's done, and most people don't seem to suffer long-term consequences (although some will debate this, the brain has an amazing capacity for regeneration, as we're just learning). If benzos don't agree with you, you're bound to find something that will -- it may just take some trial and error, and no matter how hard it is, finding a competent psychiatrist is the key. Even if you have to stay on meds, they're not all bad -- you just have to find the right ones.
