Raymond,
Definitely lookup the information on Naltrexone available in the TIPS section of this website. I am alcoholic and started taking the Naltrexone a few months ago. You would be amazed at the way it curbs your desires for alcohol (and even Klonopin in my case). Right now I have no problem going without either.
It's been about two years since my last all out panic attack. Many people find that an SSRI plus low dose Klonopin can help with GAD and PD. By low dose I mean less than 1 gram per day. I have never heard of a valid reason for taking 6-8 mg/day. In my experience it is a good med as long as you aren't abusing it.
Ask about Naltrexone - it could help the cravings a lot.
Chris
