In reply to Long term Klonopin for Social Anxiety « zuzu80, posted by Dr. Bob on April 27, 2004, at 16:09:20
I, and many others here, have and currently are using Klonopin for Social Anxiety and any other anxiety related disorders. I consider it completely safe but others may say different. I took a break from Klonopin after ~5 years and decided to go back on. For me, it's all pros and no cons with Klonopin. It's a great medication for Anx/Panic. Forget the SSRI's and go with Klonopin is my advice...
