Elavil and klonopin(clonazepam-benzodiaepine)
Been taking the benzo for 10 years on and off. The elavil for 7 months. I know I haven't tried absolutely everything but there is a point that I'm at right now where i just think I'm stuck with this monkey on my back and I should just giv it up, ya know?
I got some good advice from someone on the babble board about a med that i've been researching and may give it a try. Nothing else to lose right?

The panic attacks are coming more frequently and at a higher intensity, I'm having strange images flashing into my mind accompanied by violent thoughts of self-mutilation and death, the depression is a dark cloud barring my way into or out of everything and I can't leave my house without extreme fear and discomfort.

Maybe it will never get better? And if it does, will it last or will I be right back here in the black hole yet again?
