Or what would be best? I have heard others saying they take it before a specific event, but my phobia exists constantly.

> Yess klonopin for some can be a miracle for social anxiety,also it goes very well with maois.And what about Adrafinil? I read a lot of users on this board taking Provigil, I assume a related medication.
Regarding the clonazepam, i know for those who have an upcoming event that causes them anxiety, i.e. making a speech, they take the Klonopin before to help them calm down. However, how would it best benefit me when my social phobia exists all the time? Do I take a low dosage every day? Or one at bedtime and one in the morning? I need to ask my pdoc but my old one left and my new one won't be here for a couple of months.
