Unless he's hard to deal with or something, I'd just pick a benzo, stick with it, and stick with this doctor.

I'd also stick with the doc but I wonder if switching benzos will allow them to work for more years long term? Phillipa

That's a good point Phillipa.
I would also weigh that against driving the doctor to distraction with too many changes.
Maybe changes, but less often.
