BROMAZEPAM vs Klonopin,Ativan,social anxiety

Posted by pro_social_soon on May 18, 2005, at 15:31:48

I have generalized social anxiety/phobia. Klonopin doesnt work for me, neither does Ativan. Xanax worked at first but its tolerance went way too fast. Did anyone have good experiences with Bromazepam (Lexotan) for social anxiety/phobia?

Hi there, yeah bromazepam's OK, better than Ativan, maybe better than Valium, buy unfortunately no good for social phobia. It probably relieves it and aggravates it at the same time, not very encouraging.

- Klonopin gave the opposite result(Withdrawn/depressed/lonely)

- Ativan made me anxiety- free,but not sociable.

- Xanax elevated my mood and so made me more sociable,but for a sh0rt period.

- Bromazepam is the only BZ that had a positive effect on social anxiety.I'm not saying it cured it,but it helped a lot and the effect remained consistent.Dose varied between 3-12mg a day (3 times a day)

I say give it a trial .

Lexotan was great for me. But personaly I find Ativan a lot better.

At the moment im on Valium because the current doc wont let me be on the other benzo's :(

Im hoping I can keep taking 10mg of Valium at night and take Ativan or Lexotan PRN.

The thing I like most about Ativan is, I dont know about anyone else but when my anxiety plays up I get a lot of nausea and Ativan helps to stop this (i've actually read they use Ativan for some people having chemotherapy to control nausea).
Take care hope you find something that works.
