> I take 1.5 mgs of klonopin for my SA and it gets rid of most of the fear of rejection etc., but it doesn't really have a PROSOCIAL effect where I want to seek out interactions with people. I've convinced my pdoc to start me on lyrica (taking 150 mgs once a day). I can feel some effect, but it's just like at the bottom of the range of being barely effective? I see pdoc again next week and hope to get an increase.

> I've read basically all the lyrica posts on this board and heard that the best dose for SA is 600 mgs (300 twice a day). Anyone had success with this, and does it have a good PROSOCIAL effect?For me Lyrica works as an excellent antidepressant and makes me very pro-social. But here is the key..Low dose Lyrica = sedation, it takes higher dose Lyrica 600 mgs. daily preferably 300 b.i.d., for the antidepressant pro-social benefits. All studies indicate this. I have been doing well on Lyrica for about 3 1/2 mos. now. I also take Zoloft 100 mgs. daily, and Klonopin 1 mg. b.i.d.
