You are not alone bro, I have battled depression for years, and outside looking in you would wonder why someone like me is depressed. I have ALOT going for me in my life, unfortunately I have this void that I can't seem to fill.
I just got off all my meds too, as I felt they did more harm than good, and believe me I tried alot of them for long periods of time. Everyday is a struggle for me, and I fake my way through so nobody really sees or understands what's going through my head.

all the time, but not to the point of needing medds though
Have you looked into Gabapentin or Lyrica (duolexine) for anxiety? They have uses as anxiolytics with little to no potential side effects, with a very high dosing roof. If your doctor/psych is unfamiliar with their use for anxiety in the US, direct him or her to UK literature, where they are prescribed for such. Gabapentin is not controlled, and Lyrica is CV.
I know the head-clouding effects of benzos and like drugs, so I would suggest doing anything possible to get off of them.
For further input and ideas about what you can do, I would suggest checking out www.bluelight.ru and making a post in the basic or other drugs forums. I have read many informative posts and personal experiences on this subject that could be of much use to you.

You need to be careful while you're coming off the meds.
You may think you're over the worst, but badness can sneak up on you.
My mother went off hers and then tried to kill herself a few months later.
Just make sure that you work closely with your doctor and dont ignore increased symptoms of depression, suicidal thoughts, etc.

little bit of both but meds worked for me--the important thing to remember is, for the most part, clinical depression is a chemical imbalance and no amount of positive thought will work for most people. best of luck bro
