> i can totally agree. i wasnt boozing or anything and to tell you the truth the clonezapam wasnt making me feel too wobbly. But when I got behind the wheel of the car... whoosh! one minute youre shoulder checking and the next minute you've almost gone right under that semi so i dont think benzos and cars mix. pitty.

> anyways, i just started clonazepam for SP. I can talk to strangers now no problem, but small groups are still an issue. its not as perfect as what i was expecting. i feel a little mushy, depressed, and a tad uninterested... in anything. My short term memory is also completely gone so I now carry around a small pad and paper. weird.

> You know how the docs can be though, so now im just stuck with the benzos. I guess Ill try the xanax/paxil route but i dont have too much faith in the ssri's. I go to www.paxil.com and I feel like I'm being sold amway. Can any person here tell me FOR REAL that paxil has REALLY helped them with SP?Hi, I have had SP severe all of my life I am in the process of switching from Paxil to MAOI probably Parnate. Paxil in the beginning gave me relief, also taking clonazepam, I have to take fairly large amount of the clonazepam when in situations to get me through. Also, when an event is coming up I up my dose of Paxil. I have zip on motivation and I am constantly tired. I have sleep problems at night (staying asleep). Then I need to sleep during the day. I have had all of the counceling and so forth. So, in all of my reading it is said that MAOI's are the way to go if you have SP. So I figure I will try them. I am willing to do the correct diet and so forth. Xanax made me agitated pretty bad. Very uneasy feeling. Prozac helped depression but did nothing for SP. Sorry this is so long. Hope this helps. Good Luck, Bluebird
