> Med, how do you get prescribed Klonopin when you have an addictive personality especially in the UK??? Second question, is trimipramine contraindicated with an MAOI???
Basically mate, when you start running outa options, and I'd proven myself with 3+ yrs of sobriety, other options become available. Having a good pdoc who's top of his league helps too ;D. Not only that, I've NEVER found clonazepam 'more-ish'. Quite the opposite- it can worsen depression. But all this is in relation to social anxiety/phobia. I believe my addictive personality stems from my AvPD rather than being an isolated disorder. A coping mechanism which numbs the pain of the isolation social phobia/anxiety & AvPD sufferers inevitably feel. It seems more likely to be addictive with other types of anxiety than mine.
Thanks to Brainbeard for explaining the other part of the question, which is fresh info to me too!
