> I have been keeping a close eye on the board and looking back at the archives. I understand much more about the benzos, Thank you all. I guess my big thing is that I live almost anxiety free day to day. Im just scared to death to leave my safe zone. That brings on unbearable anticiptory anxiety and eventually a panic attack, which after that happens I am OK? To go where I want and do what I want, but I have to have that panic attack. Crazy or what. Anyway, if my silly pill a phobic butt takes this klonopin, will it ease up on my anxiety so that maybe just maybe, I can start going places further away than 30 miles without losing my damn mind? :)

> AndyI would have to agree with Brad,Klonopin will probably work.... for me at least Klonopin was more of a pro-social drug, than an anti-anxiety drug. It is worth a try...it comes in very small dosages... .25mg may do the trick.
You may also want to consider exposure therapy (if you haven't already) in combination with Beta blockers
