Slowly wean yourself off of the benzo if you think it will make you feel better. Just tell your doctor that you want to SLOWLY wean off.

why niacin, and B3??
problem is I need an anxiety med right now, I dunno if valium is similar to klonopin? I don't want sedation either from it.
i read all benzos work on same chemical in the brain.
