Thanks so much Racer for the insight and book link. I'm think I'm partial to starting meditation.
Since an SSRI and MAOI are out of the question, I will continue to only use a benzo a few times a year for really big occassions. And I also need the lunesta to sleep.
Though unconventional, for several reasons Tenex is the only med I'm seriously considering at this point. Not Tenex plus six other meds--- though I mean no disrespect to those on polypharmacy. It is reassuring to know that benzos are always an option, though one I personally choose to reserve as an absolute last line.
Either way I realize the importance of behavioral tools. I would just be grateful for even a litte help from a pharmacologic angle, though I realize I can manage without it. If I give the Tenex a shot, whatever the outcome I'm going to proceed knowing that the bulk of the work is going to have to come from me. And the acceptance that I can survive with uncomfortable feelings...I won't let them conquer me.
Thanks so much for your input, it's greatly appreciated. Peace...Saturn
