I know for many it does work, and I am actually prescribed both my regular very high dose of klonopin (which btw I'm slowly tapering off now...down to 10mg from 14mg in a little over a month.) In any case for whatever reason, I'm EXTREMELY tolerant to benzos, which is why we think it may not be social anxiety which is my main problem, because I tried every single one maxed out and then some, and it wasnt until 14mg of klonopin that I felt any help. (So I'm trying lithium as I taper off)
Sorry to drift from the subject. as you can see I also have ADD and am prescribed concerta. Even that I find to be rough on my anxiety, with a harsh comedown...and I take a very small dose. (Adderal was much worse. I would take the smallest dose (5mg) and the comedown was hell....depression for hours. Concerta has proved to be a better. Not perfect, but good enough that I can take it to help me study.
