dude, shrinks did the same thing to me. I'd been on everything (largely because I discontinued a lot of meds b/c of side-effects) and still had problems, so...Narcissism. Must be Narcissism, right?
Wrong. I discontinued meds and ended up in a psych ward 2 years later, only to discover--surprise, surprise--that a common med combo was just the ticket to keeping things on an even keel.
So don't feel bad. It sounds like you already know what works for you (Klonopin) and so do they, but since you're not getting better on their terms, it must just be some axis 2 crap. Can you go anywhere else? I mean, its just a benzodiazepine. I don't see why they won't give you the 1 thing that actually works.
I will say that there are also supplements that, though not as potent in the short-term as Klonopin, can give you comparable effects over the long haul. For me, that would be 3 grams niacinamide+6 grams taurine, plus a bunch of other helpful stuff. Just throwing that out there for you.
Sorry about your situation; good luck to you.
