Can taking a small amount of benzo help or hurt protracted withdrawal. like if you've been off benzo for 3-4 months but now the hell storm is coming. would/could taking a small amount of benzo to subdue the effects end up being more negative and prolong the terrible feelings?

It is better to avoid using them as a self medication. Benzodiazepines r not the mainstay of treatment for depression or anxiety. They r only for short term symptomatic control. U need to have a psychiatrist evaluation. There are other medications and therapies that can help u. Best wishes for speedy recovery
