Peter,

Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying. I apologize. I can imagine your frustration after years of trying CBT and (although getting pretty good results) not reaching all your goals.

I didn't reach ALL mine either! CBT gave me about a 80-85% reduction in symptoms of severe anxiety and resultant depression. Klonopin has been wonderful p.r.n. for symptoms that seem nonresponsive to CBT. There is always that residual "crap" leftover, even after intense CBT. At least that is my experience. For me, Klonopin and CBT together has yielded a great synergy, even though some CBT researchers might think benzos go against CBT philosophy.

Anyway, sorry if I came across as preachy, or overzealous.

Best wishes,

Matt
