benzos are a plague at this point. they have short term uses, but i and many others were put on them long-term with no adequate warning. you can't just stop. it's generally a long taper-down process, perhaps followed by what's termed 'protracted withdrawal syndrome'---i got myself off of years on librium, but 'out-of-the-blue' 4 months later was hit with full withdrawal again. i couldn't believe it. as an ex 'hippy', i've seen drugs---and easily quit---but benzos? long-term? check dr. heather ashton's site---there you'll find a way out, if any.
