> I have treatment resistant social phobia with comorbid depression and obsessive traits. I've been on Zoloft, Topamax, Effexor, and Wellbutrin. Currently I take 2mg of Klonopin which works well enough that I don't worry and obsess all the time, but I'm still afraid of taking social risks. I can't approach people I don't know or ask girls out on a dates.

Hello. I am unable to help you with regard to your phobia, but would just like to interject regarding the Klonopin. I took it for 2 years when I was being treated for Cancer and it really helped my anxiety attacks quite a lot! I finally slept and to some degree did not suddenly freak out of nowhere re: cancer.

But after awhile I found that Klonopin was more sedating than I wanted. So I tried Ativan. Ativan was calming but not sleepy. (Xanax did NOTHING for me, zero.)

Anyway not to push drugs or and I don't mean to be completely off topic here, just wanted to suggest that I had switched from Klonopin to Ativan very successfully when I was having major panics, and it worked very well for me.

Best of luck to you
Iolite
