> I began klonopin a week ago and has almost completely cured my anxiety, but i do not feel that socialable. My life would be a ten out of ten if i felt more outgoing. Currently I take 2mg of klonopin per day, but has anyone else had success with increasing the dosage by a few milligrams without getting addicted. I know that everyone reacts to meds in different ways, but i just want to get a feel what others have felt on a higher dosage. Do you feel more sociable or less.
> PS just got off of Geodon because it made me extremely restless. Also, i need to stay away from ssris because they make me feel diroreinted.

> Tiny TimTim, the PDR (physician's desk reference) says that single doses of clonazepam (Klonopin) above 4mg do NOT have an additive beneficial effect, but instead, potentiate the negative attributes of the CNS side effects of all benzos. MY advice? anything more than 2mg at a time is a waste of your meds. AS far as you getting out and active, look at Wellbutrin. At a lower than "normal" dose, say 100mg SR x 2, you may get the boost you want.
