I personally don't think disinhibition is the method of action that helps Social Phobia. I think the theory is : If you decease the anxiety symptoms and the depression symptoms, you will feel like being *social* and not be burdened by feeling the symptoms you previously felt. I don't think disinhibition is really the action that's suppose to help, thus the concern if this comes along for some users. Many have difficulties with benzo's and AD's of all types. But the makers of the drugs would have you believe the taking away of the *bad feelings* is how it SUPPOSE to work !! There are those here who can speak to the actually way the psychopharmary drugs work with what brain chemicals. Way too over my head to understand most of that stuff. Klonopin decreased the anxiety for me, but I can't say it makes me uninhibited. Maybe, I'm just looking at it wrong, but my inhibitions didn't need messing with, my anxiety symptoms did.
