> Hello,
> This is my first post. I've read through the posts on Klonopin and it seems that this is the drug of choice for SP. I went to the pdoc the other day and he started me on .25 mg two times a day. He did not talk about gradually increasing the dose or anything. He just wrote me a two month prescription. He told me that if the Klon doesn't work, I can take Xanax. I'm already on 75 mg of Zoloft for depression. The doc told me that if this combo makes me drowsy, he will try me on Effexor. Over the last several days, I have not noticed any effect from the .25 mg dose. I am 280 pounds and fairly muscular. Should I be feeling any effect from this small of a dose? My SP symptoms include EXCESSIVE blushing when I'm nervous. In fact, I have never seen a person get as red as I do. When I'm nervous, I find that I can not articulate the thoughts in my head and I come across like a big idiot. My heart races and my hands shake. What should my dosage be upped to? Should I go with a Beta Blocker intstead? Thanks!!!Yes. go with the beta blocker...Inderal LA stopped me from blushing (And I have red/blond hair and VERY fair skin). I find that light self tanning products help too.
