> There is nothing that I have experienced yet, that will whipe away SA like a six pack of beer or a couple or 3 stiff drinks, depending on your tolerance. I've been on drugs where its been whiped away, but your just f*ck*d right up, with just the right amount of alcohol, you feel perfect. It is,in my opinion, at just that first part of the buzz, where your just comfortable and happy, you without social anxiety disorder!!
Really? Not sure about that. I never feel "drunk " on a benzo pill...I was very relax at first on Clonazepam, without any inhibitions at all, I was able to do things that I can't write here...and things that I can't imagine doing now on just 20 mg of Diazepam...
Like someone write on this thread, we are all different, and I believe that some people can tolerate more well the alcohol effetcs than other. Like I write to you in another post, I was a heavy user of Clonazepam (8mg) and I was drinking more than 8 to 10 Smirnoff drink bootles (7 % of alcohol in Canada, compare to the USA version that have only 5.5%... I'm very sensitive to drugs or alcohol effect and I think that's in my genitic background...I don't need a lot to be drunk.
You seem to not doing a lot of panic attacks and that's a good thing.
I had my first panic attack on drugs and I had a BIG one in june 2006 on alcohol...It's why I also quit alcohol, because after that night, I always got panic attacks on alcohol...
Alcohol alone? Yeah it's probably more "fun" but maybe less effective for soxial phobia anxiety. You can't take something just to "patch" your mental problem. I mean, alcohol or just Clonazepam alone, that's just a "patch", you need to discover what it's hidding behind that problem. The best way to find the answer is with CTB...I know, that's suck to deal with social anxiety and not being able to have a normal life, just to go shooping or take a coffee or a drink alone at the bar...but that's life...
