Yea I think our generation is becoming more aware of illnesses like these, and not taking their doc's decision as final. Its a good thing, it breaks my heart when I read of people suffering for 25+ years without even realising they were ill. But I'm pretty focused now, I feel positive about the coming months.

Well I have transfered to a new doc - thought I should move on from my adolescent-specific one. I really wanted Klonopin. He thought benzos would be useful but wanted to see if my CBT would cure me first (argh..!). I've got my next appointment in just over a week. He said diazepam was his prefered treatment so I expect he will prescribe that then - I'm sure it will help me but I know that he doesn't want it as an everyday, long-term thing. And to be honest, I don't either really. Something about me that thinks diazepam < clonazepam.

I'm certainly going to ask about my researched drugs, amisulphide & pregabalin. Will be hard to sell him either... 'there's no research but I know they could help me'... argg. Well I've weaned myself off effexor so if he's open to MAOIs I might give them a whiz, although I think my suggestions are better.

Have you had any real success with meds?
John :)
