I took meds for several years, I wasn´t an addict, but it wasn´t very pleasant coming off them. I don´t think traditional psychotherapy actually helps with this. A good therapist working with cognitive behavioural is in my experience the way to go. It takes some practice and in the meantime you can use the occasional sublingual clonazepam if you get a strong PA. Feeling un real or depersonalized is another symtom of anxiety disorders. If you read all the research and placebo tests, etc, you will see that CBT is as effective ( if not more ) as SSRI + benzo regimes. Again, if any of you really is in trouble with this, I strongly suggest any of the books by David Burns ( and I am not posting any amazon ref code here hehehe )
