benzodiazipines

Can anyone speak to this class of drugs specifically?
I know that in Dr. Afrin's experience he has had patient's do well with them (not everyone, I get we all respond differently) as adding to mast cell stabilizing effect.  I have yet to find much research outside of his among some of the other specialists.
I am taking a low dose because when all this started back up again my husband asked me to take something to sort out the anxiety from what was going on.
I know in the past - when this first hit me- and I was treated for "anxiety disorder" I was on 0.5mg bid and it helped. When I transitioned to Zoloft and weaned off the benzo- (which I did VERY slowly) my symptoms came back to a greater degree. I'm not saying the klonopin was a cure-all, but it seemed to make a difference.  
Can anyone offer input on this?

I take klonopin occasionally for anxiety and I find that it really helps me too.
