> I have read some posts online from those who've found relief with SSRI's from their panic disorder and agoraphobia. I also have friends who are succeeding as well with their use. It amazes me that they are able to tolerate these drugs.
> I am dumbfounded by the fact that I have such an intense unpleasant reaction to them. The fact that every psychiatrist I've seen since moving here pushes them on me and gives me anecdotal and scientific explanations for their effectiveness makes me feel even more alone. Between not responding well to SSRI's and not benefiting enough from CBT, I'm beginning to wonder if there is any hope for me.
> Everyone keeps telling me to just take Klonopin along with the SSRI and I'll get through the anxiety part and then do well. However, my phobia about taking new med's interferes with this and in addition I also don't believe it'll work.
> Thanks for listening.>Hey ZeeZee...we seem to have a bit in common.Including having major problems with posting stuff tonight. It's taking ages to get anything to work. What meds are you taking now? Are you on an SSRI? Is anxiety your main problem or is it depression? Just curious...SSRIs are poison to me, though I know they work for lots of folks.
