The first time I took .5 Klonopin it knocked me out. Now I take 1mg 3xday. Its been years. It did wonders for nerve pain. Didn't have anxiety but recall feeling a little mellow when I took a dose. I haven't felt anything from them for a long time. However if I forget to take them for a day, I have withdrawal.
I think the trick for anxiety or social anxiety is take them only as needed. If you don't build that tolerance, they will keep working. I tried Ativan once, I forgot my Klon, it wasn't as strong. I'd go with Klonopin as needed. And I know how much you care what I think :)
