Hello, yes..I do. It is severely debilitating. I cannot work. I now have agoraphobia, insomnia and breast cancer with oral cancer in remission. I have gone through so much like you have. I understand and its increasingly difficult to find a doctor who will prescribe benzo treatment. Benzodiazepines are one of the best for treating PTSD and major clinical depression. I am on klonopin 6 mg. TID and my new doctor wants me off these ASAP...?? Concerning for me since I have tried everything on the the market..ssri's , snris, antipsychotics..with bad reactions yet, no help from Doctor except to seek psychotherapy which I do..ten years now but I'm at a loss. If anyone else out there knows of a good alternative drug besides benzos...please let us know..any info is helpful at this point. <br><br>

Hi susandenise! Thank you for your reply. I have been through 18 years of different meds & even 9 sessions of ECT! Now I'm waiting to see my new VA Psychiatrist this week. I hope he is a good doctor. I stopped all treatments for my PTSD/Depression in 2012, I got sick of taking pills that did nothing. Now I'm also dealing with Autonomic Neuropathy, an Autoimmune disease on top of every thing else. I do try to take a walk outside every day. Very overwhelming! I would like to hear from other ladies. Any ideas or info appreciated! ~Katt~
