Yes, Klonopin is quite helpful. However, my attentional impairments are intensified by this med. This combination of Avoidant Personality and ADHD (inattentive type) have crippled me to such a degree that not only do I not have much of a social life, I have not held a job in several years and I consistently fail my college classes. My life is absolutely miserable. In spite of all this I am not suicidal. I continue to have hope and I found a good therapist at the university I attend who is teaching me time management strategies and organizational skills, and I am making definite progress in this way. And so it is my hope that if at the least I can treat the social anxiety without further blunting my cognition, then perhaps I will be able to deal with the ADHD with non-pharmacological interventions. This is my hope, and after years of research and med trials I am convinced this is the best approach.
