That's terrible advice. Benzos make your anxiety vastly worse after the first six weeks or so of use, and they're vastly more addictive than alcohol or just about any other drug, legal or illegal. When you try to get off them you can have physical withdrawal symptoms for up to a year, e.g. not being able to sleep, anxiety so severe you can't go outside, etc. Plus they significantly raise your risk of committing suicide, and they are one of the most common drugs seen in people brought to the E.R. for overdoses. Plus if you go to your doctor and ask for them you will likely be put on a watch list for drug abusers, meaning you will have extreme difficulty getting any prescription medications in the future even if you're in extreme pain.
