~~~I titrate with my dosing. I've been as high as 1 mg per day and low end is .25 mgs per day - divided twice per day on frequency of dosings.
In terms of results, it just makes me feel "normal". Nothing really dramatic at this point of my usage. It takes away my ruminations, anticipatory anxiety, agoraphobic tendencies, panic attacks, and my physical symptoms of anxiety. These symptoms are generally a feeling of being physically "uncomfortable" with alot of muscle tension.
Not having these symptoms makes it much easier to be in social situations and certainly makes social interaction easier for me. I can't say it's "pro-social" for me and I think a number of folks expect that. I think we have to consider our hardwiring in that regard, Klonopin did not "make me over into a brand new me", but it did give the me I desired to have back and had lost to toxic anxiety.
