I was in the same place...I sometimes would have to summon all my courage to cross the room. I've found that desensitization, benzos alone, and CBT are pretty useless-the only thing that worked for me was an AD (you liked Paxil, too, I remember :>) with Xanax-and when it did work, all the fears went away-they just disappeared. So I'm a firm believer that it is the AD that runs the show in terms of being functional-at least, that is the way it is for me. Best of luck-agoraphobia is SO devastating in terms of what you can do and your self-confidence.
