Well being able to do well in social situation, public speaking is a real plus! When I was 25 I had to quit a job that paid $20,000 a month because I could no longer do the presentations at the meetings. They didn't really know what social anxiety was then or how to treat it. Years later klonopin bailed me out, got me out of the house, participating in life again, I just needed help with the depression brought on by SAD/GAD which EMSAM is resolving thankfully.Keep us posted on how your doing. I think with everones impute on this topic it will give a lot of people things to think about. It's good to think out of the box at times and to adjust and tweak these meds till you get it just right.
I thank you for all your information. Rob
