"severe social anxiety to the point of not being able to interact with people in public, couldn&#039;t go to seminar classes where speaking was required. would sweat profusely with my heart beating out of chest. now i take one 1 mg pill most days (not all) along with clonidine daily and i feel fine! i participate in lecture discussions, talk to people around me, etc. side effects: a slight &quot;nodding&quot; effect&quot; and bit drowsy but i sort of like its cool breeze of sedation. great medicine!"
