Yes, it's different. Maybe you're right, maybe the distinct flavor of your posts is not related to any depression, maybe it is entirely anxiety.Even so, I think that benzos are too mild to do what you seem to need. I think there are better medications out there -- including both SSRIs and atypical APs. They work. My own experience with benzos colors this -- I dissociate long before I'm calmed by them, and I have had the paradoxical agitation from them (although I don't remember, since I couldn't form memories at the time...)
I guess I'm wondering two things right now: why, if there's one particular person you'd like an answer from, you don't ask for it openly? That's allowed, and it would probably get a response. And why you're set on benzos, rather than on some other options?
Then again, it sounded to me as though you didn't want my input, so those questions are basically academic.
Good luck.
