"klonopin has been a wonderful medication for me. i&#039;m a young male who gets social anxiety, and overall anxious feelings about situational matters that i just couldn&#039;t stop. well, i take 0.5 mg of klonopin once daily and haven&#039;t had a hint of social nor general anxiety since. i can now focus on school, interact with others with confidence, sleep well at night, and enjoy my life again.the medication gives you a steady sense of calm and tranquility without making you feel sedated (at least it does for me), and its effects lasts between 6-8 hours! xanax worked as well, but it made me too sedated to adequately perform my daily schedules, plus didn&#039;t last as long.
