Hey all. I will make this short. Social anxiety has been an overbearingly powerful force in my life (I mean ive been hospitalized for it its made me so depressed) and affects every aspect of my life. clonazepam is the only medication to have truly helped. I can focus on it a hundred times better, I think clearer, my depression vanishes, and of course my sa is decreased a whole heck of alot. then theres cbt, however. If I stay with that and it could help permanently and maybe even better? ive seen glimpses of how it can help but generally find the exposures make me more distressed than anything. but am I asking for a whole heck of alot of trouble by signing my soul over to clonazepam? (im basically saying im going to stay on it and use it as the only thing for ever)? Or am I stupid for waiting another second? and ive tried cbt and clono. together, it doesnt work. I end up having inacurate definitions of the work I did when sometimes Im medicated and sometimes not. I end up thinking I can only do whatever it is while on the drug so it doesnt work. (plenty of other resons too) thanks alot for the info
