> Klonopin is probably second to Nardil for efficacy in social phobia. I've just started it and have had some problems with sleep-related side effects, but I probably have some form of narcolepsy. Starting my second week at 0.25 mg/day. Some definite anxiety reduction effect, and being around people is less painful.
thanks for the info... i gathered this much from www.socialfear.com as he says something similar.. how do you know that this drug is efficacious? I mean on social fear it is thought of highly, which it may be so, but are there other sites that speak of klonopin?
Have you had any of these drawbacks yet?
