People have suggested switching to something else in place of benzodiazepines, but I have frequent and severe allergic reactions. I am terrified to introduce another possible allergen into my system during pregnancy or otherwise. In fact, I have not been able to try ANY new medication in the past three years without a severe allergic reactions, and I seem to even be developing reactions to medications I was previously safe to take, including penecillin.

As physicians, how would you treat a pregnant patient with this perplexing problem? (I am 25, if that is relevant.)
