Will lemon balm help against benzodiazepine's physical anxiety?

What dose of Chinese skullcap do you recommend? I can get 250 mg capsules.

I'd start with a small dose of one capsule per day to see how you react to it. And increase if no adverse effects in three days or so. This is a very powerful herb -- in a tincture form -- for me.

That product looks good but it has American skullcap in it and I heard bad stories about that.

I find that Scutellaria lateriflora is not the same as Scutellaria baicalensis, contrary to what I've heard from others. I take the former too and don't see any negative effects although I take it in minuscule doses (2-4 drops) and only as needed.
