In reply to What's the best Benzo for Social Phobia?, posted by Crazy Horse on June 30, 2006, at 17:47:31
> I finally got my pdoc to write me a script for Klonopin..after much begging! I've been on Ativan for over 20 yrs. and just don't feel it works for me anymore. I want something to help w/Social Phobia, along w/my EMSAM. My PDoc insists a benzo is a benzo except for differences in the half life. All opinions are appreciated...is Klonopin generally better for S.P. than the other benzos? And why or why not? Thanks!

For me the combination of Nardil(phenelzine) and Klonopin(clonazepam) are the best meds for my social anxiety. I haven't tried EMSAM but would like to some day when I feel stable enough to go off Nardil again. Because of it's long half life and greater relative potency compared to the other benzos, I feel that Klonopin is a good choice as an augmentor.
Good Luck and Be Well,
