I, with my doc, determined my diagnosis the way I'm aware any of us are diagnosed with a mental health disorder - by excluding those conditions that could cause the symptoms I was experiencing. As far as I'm aware, these disorders are diagnosed via exclusion and assessment of symptoms. Plus, I had a strong genetic setup.

I make no differences between anxiety or panic and my "faulty" system. The "fear" area of my brain is the problem. I release too many "spin up" chemicals. Any medication that "increases" the available serotonin and norepi, makes my symptoms worsen. I have an anxiety disorder, which I believe is underrated as a stand alone diagnosis and is always thought to be comorbid with other disorders.

The fact of the way I see my disorder and that a benzo works for me and keeps me well is MY truth. I do not ask anyone else to believe it. If you think Klonopin is keeping you from true wellness, that's your truth that you are certainly entitled to.
