No, I've never tried benzos and hope I never will. I take antidepressants for anxiety. Thinking back I've always lived with anxiety but it hasn't been a problem until I got tinnitus. I live a great life and I'm happy about my life today. I'll always miss some parts of my old life but I'm more humble now and appreciate life more. I feel like I'll be able to handle whatever life brings me from now on.
