> Just started klonopin last thursday at .5mg two to three times a day, so far so good, no xanax yet.
I, and many others here, have and currently are using Klonopin for Social Anxiety and any other anxiety related disorders. I consider it completely safe but others may say different. I took a break from Klonopin after ~5 years and decided to go back on. For me, it's all pros and no cons with Klonopin. It's a great medication for Anx/Panic. Forget the SSRI's and go with Klonopin is my advice...
