So glad to hear from you and know you're ok Please don't feel like you'll be banned from the boards or like you're a flunkie, we all love you and care about you and don't care if you are still having trouble with the diet! It's ok! I felt the same way for the longest time because the diet wasn't doing anything for me and it turned out I didn't even necessarily have IBS, but I still love to come here and everyone has still been really supportive.
As for the drugs, I've heard good things about Prozac and combined with the Klonopin hopefully that'll do the trick. How much Klonopin do you take? That's what my psychiatrist put me on and he says it's important that I take it regularily to try and stay on top of the anxiety and not let it "break through" (it still does sometimes of course).
I hear you on the counsellor issue too...I had to find a psychologist...my psychiatrist gave me a list of doctors to try and I just had to pick one and I'm terrible at making decisions. Basically, I ended up calling around and went with the one who made me feel the most comfortable and seemed most apathetic towards my situation (I can't really afford to see a counsellor and this woman was willing to work something out with me financially). Hopefully you'll find the right fit for you.
