Hi there. I don't know if you are bipolar but your comment about being in a manic got my attention because you said you were going to try another SSRI. If you are bipolar an SSRI will bring on mania.
You might want to bring this up with your doctor if you haven't been diagnosed with bipolar.Somtimes people are originally diagnosed for anxiety and it turns out they are bipolar (usually Type 2).
I hope you start feeling better soon.

> Everyone here says that Klonopin is the "gold standard" for social anxiety. Can u guys give me some comparisons between Klonopin, Xanax, and Valium and which has worked best? I've tried all three, although not from the doctor :-) Valium and Klonopin seem to work better, and Klonopin made me less tired. I like the mood stabilizing profile of Klonopin also, cuz I've been in almost a manic state for as long as I can remember...especially the last month or so.. I'll probably be starting a different SSRI also, so any info you have on combining the two would be great..thanx.
