> JBIn terms of social phobia, klonopin is superior. Klonopin is less sedating, longer-acting, and has a more complex pharmacology. Ativan, is very fast acting, short-lived, and more of a "sedative." Ativan is better for acute stress reactions, where sedation and sleep are preferred (ie a good med to take if you have a fear of flying, and are about to get on a plane)
