> clonazepam stayed at 4mg/day (been on that dose nearly 10yrs! It seems to be one of the less "more-ish" benzos going and once you are at your peak level you can stay there indefinitely. BUT that seems to only apply to Social anxiety. GAD & Panic disorder sufferers apparently dont have this levelling out effect and are more likely to develope tolerance/withdrawal symptoms.

> JohnI cannot remember exactly why but ive switched to equivalant doses of valium and temazepam and they feel totaly different. close to euphoric but clonazepam seems to cause depression in some individuals. and ive never found clonazepam euporic. i find it helps with relaxing muscles and tension. and it really helps with me not worrying about what i just said and less SA flashbacks, embarrasment but slows me downsomewhat. if i find the link ill post it. i do know that clonazepam & alprazolam are the 2 top benzos for SA. clonazepam for longer term treatment then alprazolam for a quick fix? strangely we dont have alprazolam here in the uk but you can order it thru ur doc. i was toll it would cost £3/day. but i wouldn't take it anyway.
probably not answered your question very well.
sorry
