Does your current pdoc know about your terrible history with Klonopin?
Yes, I've told him, but not very persuasively i guess.

I hate this phobia because it just hit me immediately around the 3rd week of April. I didn't see it coming, and I had no defense because it caught me so suddenly, and I simply couldn't make myself go up or down. I'm not even really convinced that a benzo would help but it's worth a try. It's a terrible feeling, knowing I'm stuck here in my apartment, even though I do have some agoraphobia too. Just knowing that even if the building were on fire i probably still couldn't get down the stairs.

If a benzo does help, hopefully I'll only need to use it once or twice until my fear is quelled.

Crazy situation.
