Hi Michael,
I'm sorry you are suffering so terribly. I know what you mean about being afraid of fear, and also your haunted hse. analogy was good...been there too.
My advice is different, because your story sounds a lot like mine, especially when i first started having probs many years ago. I think an MAOI could be extremely helpful, moai's have significant efficacy in anxiety disorders, such as social phobia, panic disorder with agoraphobia and obsessive compulsive disorder. For me the maois (Nardil and especially Parnate) have worked when everything else has failed. I used to have horrible gut wrenching anxiety, panic attacks, ruminations, and with Parnate these symptons are gone. I've gone from useing 10-12 mgs of ativan a day (very high dose) to only taking 1.5 mgs a day..this in 3 months on parnate. Also, now there is EMSAM to consider, look at what it has done for Robert.
Anyway, something to consider and maybe talk to your pdoc about. Also, i would increase your Klonopin for now...you need it. And seroguel is also excellent if it still works for you. I wish you the very best Michael...feel free to ask me anything! May God bless you.
Monte
