Exercise, exercise, exercise. Seriously, if my anxiety is super-high, REALLY HARD exercise is all that will get it down to manageable levels. Kickboxing. Really heavy lifting. Running intervals. Etc.
People do develop tolerance to benzos as they take them long-term, so it is possible that's happening.
I notice a real improvement in my symptoms when I cut out refined sugars and flours, too. The cleaner I eat (fruits, veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, small amounts of dairy), the easier my symptoms are to manage.
