Dear Jimmy,
It sounds very much like agoraphobia (fear of crowds to me- which you can have even without actual panic attacks. Plus the fact that klonopin works for you says you probably do have some type of panic disorder. PTSD is usually a result of a trauma of such magnitude you felt your life was threatened (Vietnam Vets, child abuse survivors, etc.) I've found that shrinks who specialize in anxiety disorders are usually the most helpful. Take care, judy
