In that case, either you can gradually taper it off or shift to sedative antidepressant like mirtazapine or trazodone that would help you to keep relax and would help to control benzodiazepine induced withdrawal. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper management and help. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
