> Interesting... have you tried Klonopin? I'm on it 1mg 3x/day, but I'd like something that I don't have to dose 3x/day (especially since forgetting or not bothering to dose can leave you in a situation where you feel like a loser in front of a girl)
Yes I find Klonopin 2 mg *extremely* helpful in social situations, but only for 2 days of its usage. It might be because the slight Klonopin "sedation" wears off on the 3rd day. I need this particular "sedation" in order not to be anxious around people and be sociable. So I use Klonopin from time to time.
Hmm just a thought popped into my head now, I've never tried it but maybe on that 3rd day I should jump the dosage? To 2.5 mg or 3mg? What do you think?
> Is it as effacious as klonopin for social anx.?
Hmm comparing Ultram to Klonopin... Its hard to say. Its been my 4th day on Ultram SR, 100mg and it definitely has more pronounced effect on my atypical depression, it heals my OCD completely, and I'd say it's more pro-sociable than Klonopin, I am talkative,outgoing, but not so loose and anxiety-free like on Klonopin. So both Klonopin and Ultram have advantages/disadvantages in my case. I've heard of mixing both with good results. I'll post when anything comes up :)Take care,
Brad
