"have done the full arsenal of anti-depressants with minimal to no resolution of my sad/gad. i am a generally healthy 48 year old male that mysteriously  2 years ago developed intense gad/sad: terrified flop sweats in meetings, avoidance of all social gatherings/interaction, non-stop anxiousness, and a handful of panic attacks. under recommendation from my therapist my gp reluctantly prescribed clonazepan (klonopin). 1 mg 2 x day. the full 1 mg made me a bit glassy eyed and dull. reducing to 0.5 mg in the morning - to handle work-related anxiety and 1mg at night before bed. success! i am close to the goofy outgoing person i was before the anxiety kicked in full-force. bravo! i have found the right mix - finally."
