Can I take benzos daily for a month until my SSRI kicks in?

My psychiatrist prescribed me benzos to take daily as I'm starting on an SSRI for my anxiety/OCD.

She told me it's safe to take them for about 4 weeks until I start feeling the effects of the antidepressant.

The benzo is Bromazepam 6-12mg/daily. That's basically the equivalent of Klonopin 1-2mg/daily.

Is a month of use at that dose range enough to cause withdrawals? Has anyone been in a similar position before, where they needed to go on benzos, until their SSRI kicked in?
