Is Klonopin right for Social Anxiety?

To treat social anxiety there are certain medications and therapy that are recommended for physicians and doctors some of those are good and some cause side effects but can reduce your symptoms of anxiety and depression.

There are many kinds of medications and even herbal medicines such as kava kava to treat anxiety. Klonopin also called Clonazepam is a drug called benzodiazepines. Klonopin affects chemical in your brain that are unbalanced and is causing your symptoms of panic disorder.

As you know people that suffer from severe social anxiety also have panic attacks when they need to deal in a very stressful social situation. So klonopin is an option to treat panic disoders by following a prescription of your doctor.

You will need to take it regularly to get the best benefit from it, go with your doctor and ask him about this medications and if its correct for you. During your treatment with clonazepam your doctor might want to do a blood test and monitor any possible side effects.

As always you should not take this klonopin or any other medications without proper prescription, side effects are always possible and your doctor should tell you what is your progress and how is your body reacting to this treatment.

Remember that there are other types of treatments to overcome social phobia like psychotherapy which is safe and can help you make a long term positive change instead of just reducing some of the symptoms.

You need to put some effort on your part and be willing to push your self forward, you dont have to get very stress in social activities just just to socialize with people you already know and with friends of them, so you can get comfortable over time.

Clonazepam is great for treating panic disorder as I have been taking it. But at the same time, the side effects of it as far as coming off of it is very hard to do because after a while it builds up tolerance in your body until you get the feeling that you can't live without it.

I would tell anyone BEFORE taking clonazepam, be careful because this is NOT a drug to mess around with, it's the same effect as xanax and you don't want to go over your dosage for a while because you'll become dependent.

Try to use other methods first, such as finding other prescriptions or therapy to work yourself out of anxiety, I know it's hard, I had and still have minor bouts of anxiety but, if you can prevent it more from the beginning that is the best way, than to get on all these drugs, sure they help for the time being, but what happens when you get off is they make you feel worst, so you really need to be careful.
