In reply to Modafinil + clonazepam for social anxiety? » mike lynch, posted by jedi on June 21, 2006, at 0:17:36
I haven't used it but maybe modafinil(Provigil) along with a small dose of clonazepam(1mg) would work. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on this?>>
Hi.
I take 300 mg modafinil with 1 mg clonazepam, and yes, it does help the social anxiety, but it's mostly the clonazepam effect. I find modafinil to be a positively asocial med.
Ritalin worked much better in terms of socializing- it helped social anxiety, although it immeasurably worsened other forms of anxiety. Even Strattera was a less unsociable med than modafinil.
others say that Ritalin is an asocial med, so of course YMMV.
The good news is that overall anxiety is lower on modafinil than on other stim-type meds (I consider Strattera a stimulant type med). Just to show that you can't have it all, though, modafinil takes away the desire to be social.
