Interesting post.
My experience w. Klonopin and Social Phobia is very similar to yours. Have taken Klon. for over 10 yrs. Started at 3mgs./day, lowered (easily) to 2mg./day after a year or so. Klon. helps a good deal, but makes me depressed. It's a compromise, and the best I've been able to find so far. Antidepressants make me hypomanic (even w. a mood stabilizer), so that route is out for me. I tried Neurontin, which helped both SP and depression for about 6 months, at which point its effects started to fade.
I'm very interested in your continuing experience with Lyrica (I'd bet others here are too - SP/SAD seems to be a common problem). Hoping you'll keep us updated.
Thanks for your post, and best of luck.
