Why are doctors anti-benzos? What about antidepressant dangers?

Why are doctors so against Benzos? Antidepressants are dangerous and come with severe side effects and withdrawal symptoms also according to my research.

How do you manage to cut your pills so small? I’ve been wondering about that. Or do you use a liquid form?

I have been on Lorizapam for 38 years and it stopped working as good as it use to. When I stabilized on Venlafaxine I started tapering off Lorazapam. Cutting the pills didn't work so good so my Doctor suggested the compounded Lorazapam (liquid). There is only one pharmacy that does this where I live. Every time I cut down, one ML a month I have a dizzy feeling in my head but it goes away after about a week. This is tapering very slow.
