Yes, crystal... you managed a very difficult task well!
There is something you might like to try, that will help ease anxiety some without the habituation risk.
It is called theanine. It is not expensive, and is from green tea.
Taken in large dose, it calms the receptors like Xanax etc, without side effects.
Some of us on PN forum are using it and like it. It is supposed to have some effect on healing peripheral nerve damage, but I can't vouch for that aspect yet. It may be slow.

I've used two brands, Doctor's Best, and Swanson's form.
SunTheanine is the one to choose.

I could not find interactions with drugs and theanine either.
I use 300mg at bedtime. I have not noticed an tolerance with it.
