Have you ever tried any meds that did a decent job in helping with anxiety? I know for me nothing ever worked like the pain-killers they put me on after surgery, but that's not a sustainable solution.
What about a benzo and an SSRI? Does that do anything? Have you tried stimulants at all?
I'm only ten days into my journey with Parnate/Klonopin and have noticed some significant results, but nothing that I didn't find on my Cymbalta/Klonopin/Adderall combo from time to time. Actually, when I would go to a party back then I would take Cymbalta/Klonopin and then drop the Adderall and drink a lot of Diet Coke and with all that caffiene I would have a great time. It was not an every day solution, however. It did let me come out of my shell for a limited time.
What kind of things are hard for you to do that you would like to? Is it hard to be yourself around others? Do you have many physical/panic symptoms for no reason? Is it difficult to try new things for fear about how they might turn out?
