Janejj,

Choosing a benzo for social anxiety depends on more than predicating the decision on the molecule with the longest half life. If duration of action were the primary factor, most would use valium, which has a longer half-life than Klonopin. However, there is no study indicating valium is of equivalent utility to social anxiety as klonopin.

There are however, studies indicating dopaminergic meds do help dysthymics, an-hedonic (pleasure-less) individuals, which often happens to be the same person who is socially anxious. Hence my approach to augment Klonopin at 1.25 mg with amisulpride initially.
