I have not had a benzo problem ever in my life. But I did at one time have a very serious drug and alcohol problem.
When I first got clean I was doing pretty well I got married and had a baby I did pretty well until the baby's father and I got a divorce. This set off anxiety and panic in me like crazy.
I guess because I am a trained medical professional I knew I had to get myself well least I end up somewhere I did not want to be. I knew I was nutritionly depleted so I started working on that.
I found what helped me was eating foods high in trace minerals I started drinking purified water too. Also another thing that helps me is when I take a mineral bath. Queen Helene makes a wonderful mineral bath product and it comes in several different scents. It really does help me to stop feeling anxious.
