> Yes, I think it will decrease your anxiety, improve your confidence and reduce your avoidance. When you took clonazepam, what dose did you take? I remember you had side effects, perhaps the dose was too high. Have you ever taken a very small dose of daily clonazepam (or another benzo) for a few weeks?

>Of course i enjoy socializing. I think I am an extrovert but masked totally because of the anxiety. Clonazepam can cause easily depression in me even at the 0.25mg !!!!
BTW. I got the Nardil today. Not sure how long to wait. The supplier is called Hansam UK, manufactured in the UK by Celltech. Some 2 posts here at this site say that this is the same as the old 1950s formula !!! Smells strange though, like metal, maybe magnesium?! And the tablets are red red red.
So long,
Ted
