We never find out exactly what happens to Benny Russell beyond this point, as after the breakdown occurs, Captain Sisko wakes up. Back on Deep Space 9, it seems as if his experiences as Benny Russell were all just a fantasy.

Yes, we do. He ends up in an asylum. He is shown briefly while Sisko approaches the Orb of the Emissary.

It's Prophet Visions all the way down, so "what happened next" is arguably not relevant. But in any case, the author seems to be specifically referring to "Far Beyond the Stars".
