Even though MAOIs treated my agoraphobia when nothing else would, I would like to add that cognitive therapy was extremely beneficial. Even when MAOIs were working well for me, I would still have anxiety attacks - some for an extended period of time.
I began cognitive therapy after going through a particularly horrible breakup. I learned some effective self-help methods that I still use some 15 years later. Although I still have short anxiety attacks 2-3 times a year, I never have that "hanging on by the fingernails" feeling again.
Increasing my exercise intensity also helped as well.
Ultimately, I've learned that although meds are very important, they work even better if they aren't the only thing you're relying on.
