[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 312558, member: 84"] I always fall apart once the crisis is over. In one way that is a good thing......but yet it makes you feel silly cuz then there really isn't anything to fall apart over. My psychiatrist told me it's cuz I put it all on the backburner until I felt it was safe to deal with it. So, now I pretty much roll with it. My anxiety after the truck accident was thru the roof and waaaaay out of control. My normal coping mechanisms weren't working. I did become agoraphobic and it wasn't pretty. Klonopin was my friend. The dose wasn't high...nor did I take much. psychiatrist knew I'm not a medication person. Seraquel and trazadone to help me sleep at night......cuz I couldn't manage it on my own. And sleep deprivation makes it all worse. The medications didn't make it go away. It made it so I could take a deep breath and face it without the physical symptoms becoming so overwhelming I just couldn't handle it. It made it possible for me to work thru it until I didn't need them again. If you need them....and it sounds like you may benefit from them......you've nothing to lose by trying. You can start out slow and work your way to a dosage that is right for you. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
