I can think I can live with my anxiety as it is now, because of Buspar. But I'm not as free and brave among people/friends as I used to be. Though, I have always had some sort of social phobia, agora phobia or something. The feeling of being uncomfortable among foreigners. But had no problems with presentations in my classroom. Maybe if I started with Klonopin I could get rid of it all. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, it's not like, if I don't get klonopin then I can't live and I can't be among strangers and meet new people.
It's getting more out my life, and maybe be the one I'm supposed to be. I am a social human being.
I know that neither you nor anyone else have all the answer but it feels good to talk to people who understands you.

> hmmm....well, i have doubled my dose, but right now i'm working with a slew of meds and experiencing a lot of stress. the double-dose of klon makes me a bit more comfy. i've only been on it since july, so i don't know if i'll require more in a few months.

> is your need for a med mostly about performance anxiety, or do you have general anxiety as well? if it's just performance anxiety, i would imagine that you could take it only as needed, rather than on a regular basis.
