Just keep taking it as long as it works, and don't let the conservative docs tell you otherwise!!! As long as it works, take it. Who cares if its addictive. The SSRIs are addictive. Look at all the people on this board talking about Effexor/Paxil/Zoloft withdrawal.
The difference between Benzos and SSRIs, the difference docs care about, is you can't overdose on SSRIs. But if you take enough of a benzo, you will get high. That's why Benzos are DEA Schedule IV drugs. I got high on Ativan once: I took 16mg over 12 hours and it turns out the half-life of Ativan is really long so I got wasted. I had terrible cravings for the next 2 days, luckily I didn't take any more. So just be careful not to abuse your benzo and you'll be fine.
