> 1)In my personal experience and opinion, Nardil is significantly better for anxiety (at least/especially social anxiety) than Klonopin. Klonopin can keep anxiety at bay a good deal, but it makes one (me, at least) not feel like socializing that much more-- maybe even less so sometimes. But Nardil, on the other hand, takes so much anxiety away AND basically MAKES one (me) socialize more (it makes one more "prosocial"). It's like i just automatically talk to people more.

> 2)i don't know, because i wasn't on Klonopin consistently for that long a period of time and i've never had to quit Nardil yet. But i would definitely guess that Nardil would be even harder to withdrawal from than Klonopin would be. As far as tolerance and dependence, i couldn't tell you.

Ive heard that it takes a good amount larger dose to take care of social anxiety vs depression with Nardil... what dosage are you using, Questionmark?
also were you on Nardil before the forumulation change in late 03, did you notice a difference?Jon
