I've taken every benzo (plus valium, propranalol) since 1986 and none of them helped. Been taking klonopin 2mg/day for last 20 years and it hasn't significantly controlled my acute anxiety or panic attacks. I'm really confused because I haven't been anxious the last 7 mths or so and haven't had a panic attack in over a year so I don't know if it's helping or not. My main symptoms are horrible mood, can't relax or rest, no energy, insomnia, extremely irritable/agitation, severe anhedonia, haven't felt like myself in decades, can't relate to or enjoy people.
I can't find a therapist in DE (most don't take Medicare) and I'm not going to do online therapy. I tried that with a Dr. and it was an awful experience. Last two therapists I saw never said a word to me so I never went back to them.
My Psychiatrist said he does have something in mind that would help my mood which doesn't need a prescription but he said he's not going to tell me what it is until I get more tests done for my endocrinologist in 3 weeks.
