> I tried Klonopin around 0.5mg a day (3 days) but it made me feel tired with problems of reaction to things. Does these effects last on or do I get rid off them if I take Klonopin for some days or weeks?

Hi. It takes time for the slowing down from benzos to go away. If your on an antidepressant then get back on Klonopin. It zaps my SA away where I can even (currently) go up to woman and ask them out! Thats major success for me!!!
I take 4mg/day and started on 1.5mg. When I doubled from 1.5 (after 6 months-ish) to 3-4mg was when it hit home. I cannot do without it yet the great thing, and also unique thing about Klonopin is that, and this applies mainly to SA, its not addictive in the more-ish sense at all once u hit YOUR dose. The one thats right for you. 2mg? Might help for short term 'calmness' but Klonopins a bit like an antidepressant when it comes to social anxiety. It takes time and you cant just start high and wait. It needs carefull building up untill the side effects are tolerable. Its worth it in the end. My doc even said I can go up to 6mg if i ever need to temporarily. Nuff said.
