Buckeye,
Brother, my heart bleeds for you man. Many of us could be in the same position. I understand your fear, I have felt it. The librium does work. But when it's gone it's gone, and the underlying anxiety, which is very real, is still there.....
I got lucky...I knew the psy. I was seeing was terrible, but being so depressed I never changed, after this last episode of crashing, I forced myself to get in with my general DR. and he himself got me into a new, more upscale practice, if it wasn't for him, I would not of gotten in, sh*tty state insurance. I got hooked up with a great Nurse practioner, cutting edge knowledge and therapist, they could not believe the treatment, ECT, med. regimen that I had been on over the past 3 years....The nurse practioner, put me back on a lower dosage of Klonopin, said she realized the benefit of Benzos and that SSRI did nothing for anxiety for most, she is also taking me off of Remeron, slowly, adding Effexor XR, slowly, and will probably taper me off Lexapro, but wants to leave it for now to see if my mood impoves in combo with the Effexor, she also did not hesitate to give me the low dose of Restoril for my insomnia.......The therapist herself said you have to shop around for the clinic that best fits your needs and never give up...I gave up and ended up much worse off.....Buckeye,,,,can a good lawyer really emphasize your mental health issues and maybe get you into a day program??...I hate being in enclosed spaces, especially with strangers, even family sometimes...I to would be doing the super freak....
Good luck.....let us know....
