When I'm faced with one of my agoraphobic boundaries, such as being far from home, my anticipatory anxiety becomes so intense that I'd have to be zonked out on xanax 24 hours a day. My anxiety is so great that I don't even believe the xanax will work.
The thing is though, when I live within the invisible boundaries or am accompanied by a companion for shorter journeys, I feel completely comfortable and normal. My usual day to day life (although a small life) feels perfectly OK. It's difficult for me to accept the use of a benzo (and the subsequent sedation) on a daily basis when I don't need it everyday.
I just can't forget how good I felt and how quiet my anxious thoughts became while on the MAOI's - and without feeling drugged. I'm hopeful I can find something like that again.Regards
