Hiya! I was just wondering if you were having the obsessional thoughts while you were taking klonopin or before that.

My sympathies are with you, both for the obsessional thoughts you're dealing with and the klonopin withdrawal symptoms.

I went through benzo withdrawal about ten years ago and it was probably 18 months after I stopped taking them that I stopped having severe anxiety (panic attacks, agoraphobia.) I know it's been longer than that for you.

I agree that it can be difficult and frustrating to find any reasonably-priced psychiatric help and it seems to only keep getting worse.

I am in the process of switching mental health care providers due to a change in insurance status. It's causing me lots of anxiety.

I hope you'll try to find a therapist who can help you. Even as I say that, I know how hard it can be to look and how discouraging it is when you put in the time and then the therapist isn't helpful.

<q>All the miserable suffering people here is just overwhelming to me./<q>

I feel that way sometimes, too.
