As someone who's spent the past year and a half being on any med for the sole reason that it wasn't Klonopin, let me offer some advice:
long-acting drugs will never, ever help you. Nardil's interesting, but don't believe too much hype-- and even if it does work, you may get sick of not being able to do things like take stimulants whenever your college life demands a healthy supply (hypothetically, if you were in college) of stimulants. (Or as in Animal House, "weight loss drugs").
It'll never happen. Try Neurontin at hefty (400-1000mg/time) doses. It WILL make you less anxious, but your thoughts will be slow and you'll look drunk walking for a few days as your body adjusts. That can be avoided if you titirate in your sleep instead of during the day.
I just don't like Neuontin because it occassionally slows me down when I speak, so I say things in this embarassing monotonous voice, it's humiliating. But on the plus side, I feel great, comfortable around hot girls and talking to them, and sitting in class is the most chill thing ever.
