I have severe social anxiety and my psychiatrist prescribed 1.5mg of Klonopin. I've never taken any drugs before so I'm reading up on Benzos and apparently they were invented by this jewish chemist named Leo Sternbach. Now I'm worried about taking them.
a. give up and take the jew pills, and ultimately kill yourself before you reach 30 like most other pharmaceutical addicts
or
b. stop believing that your "severe social anxiety" is a core aspect of your personality and man the fuck up.
Adrian Richardson
be careful diego.
these drugs are highly addictive and have distinct but sometimes subtle sedating effects
you won't notice it but you'll be driving shitter, more tired, etc
if you take them in moderation only for emergencies or reasons you don't want to take it in the first place, you'll be okay. just don't make it a recreational habit
t. user who is prescribed a benzo and abuses / abused a lot of drugs and has a lot of experience
Nolan Hernandez
They kinda make you retarded. And if you get hooked on them the withdrawal can be worse than heroin. It's one of the few drugs where the withdrawal can kill.
Evan King
Benzos are fun as hell but extremely addicting and dangerous. Don't fall for it.
Josiah Walker
Benzos offer temporary relief, great for acute anxiety or serious debilitating problems. long term it comes down to having healthy habits and identifying what causes your anxiety
Aaron Ward
Get an amygdalectomy. It will eliminate all anxiety and completely destroy your sense of fear.
Landon Hill
easily abused, highly addictive to a weakened mind and withdrawals are a MEGA BITCH to the point of being outright FATAL.
Cameron Miller
>I have severe social anxiety
What a faggot. Just fucking leave that shithole and dont take this shit.
Ryder Williams
be *very* carefull with these. from what i know they should be used only rarely during anxiety attacksm but not something to take daily. Talk to your doctor about that. If he thinks you should eat that like candy, get a better doctor. (dont mention anything about jews. many drugs were invented by jews (often in germany btw :)).
Camden Reyes
DO. NOT. TAKE. I had to wean myself off with a 1/1000g scale. If you run out, life will be a living nitghmare like a bad acid trip.
I once ran out of it and drank a 12 pack of beer which had no effect. I will never take another psych drug again. Lift lift lift.
Blake Carter
i've taken klonopin for about 6 years. it's the devil desu. i'm no stranger to habitual drug use but benzos are almost impossible to get off of once you develop a physical dependency. it did help me overcome my anxiety but these drugs are serious. don't take this shit lightly. i only take them now to ward off withdrawals.
being a benzonian sucks man. i strongly encourage you to think twice about this.
Jonathan Gutierrez
The DR gave me some because I'm trying to stop drinking and the withdrawal is really bad.
I can't bring myself to use them because I'm scared I'll get addicted.
I'm just trying to drink less and less as the days go on now.
Connor Lee
smoke weed fagget pills are for losers
Christian Cox
My final wean off dose was something like .0012. These can destroy your life, permanently. I would only take these to temporarily ward off a suicide (which is why I took them in the first place, I was going to camp on train tracks but called the ER instead). Psychiatrists who prescribe these are criminals.
Dominic Wright
psychiatrist here take the fucking pills take some beta blockers before you get into a triggering situation such as speaking in public don't know if brazil has belladonna compounds available to the public but you should check with your doctor to see because it's great for controlling autonomous hyper activation responsible for sweating, heavy breathing, shitting yourself, etc... also, if you're worried about the ethnicity of the guy who discovered some pills that have been tested for generations across the fucking world and have been proven effective and safe then you probably need some anti-psychotics too
Ayden Campbell
>work like magic >good for emergencies >highly addictive >near impossible to kick when addicted (worse than heroine because there is no alternative, because benzo's ARE the alternative in most cases) >a necessity in some cases
Use an alternative if possible, or as a temporary measure to support your therapy. There are some good alternatives, but if you really have "severe social anxiety", you probably need them.
t. psych nurse
> taking "THE J00S" meme serious > considering not to work on actual debilitating condition because of THE J00S meme wew lad...
Matthew Price
Wean off alcohol instead: hams.cc/ I have done it myself and believe me it is so much easier than weaning off Klonopin.
Please do not take these drugs :'(
Logan Thomas
Kill yourself faggot, I refuse to take motherfucking tylenols even
Jacob Parker

Really though, just man up and study self development and growth bullshit and drink teas and use herbal shit and don't be a slave.
Joshua Gomez
>anonfag claims to be psychiatrist >dishes out advice on highly addictive drugs
good enough for me
Aaron Bell
I take klonpin sometimes for seizures and anxiety. It beats Xanax by far, I don't think of killing myself with the depression it gives me. I would take it in moderation though, because I hear withdrawals from benzos is a bitch.
Leo Fisher
They work. I have awful fucking anxiety and these pills made me become social, get girlfriends, travel, get a new job and basically feel happy
Then the tolerance wore in, and they werent as effective... I tried to stop and the withdrawals were like a fever dream of pure horror. I dropped out of uni partially due to mt addiction and eventually managed to taper off with the help of kratom.
Would I do it again? Probably. They literally turned me into a chad. A kinda weird one but hey, they very seriously gave me the best times of my life, to the point I think I should continue using them forever in a controlled cycle or something... happiness is priceless
Bentley Ward
> if you're worried about the ethnicity of the guy who discovered some pills that have been tested for generations across the fucking world and have been proven effective and safe then you probably need some anti-psychotics too
Hudson Carter
Klonopin is fun for a minute but your tolerance levels increase faster then any sane doctor will support. >Xanax bars.
Liam Martin
They are extremely addictive. I took them to get good sleep twice a week (and they work amazingly) but eventually I could feel the desire to take them more frequently and in higher doses so I cut myself off.
Those drugs will turn you into a zombie. Get some fresh air, get a gym membership, change your diet, clean your room, and sort yourself out mono. It's not that difficult. These are mass murder pills
Michael Anderson
I took valium by the way, and sometimes some zopiclone. Got up to 40mg daily of valium before getting clean after 1.5yrs
Isaiah Johnson
just take some zoloft lad
Justin Rivera
Youre thinking about SSRIs.
Lucas Long
Zoloft turns you into a eunuch.
Go drug free totally unless you are psychotic level.
Zachary Gray
They are the worse drug I've ever taken due to the withdrawals. Was on .5mg klonopin twice a day for about a year and got seizures coming off it. The "brain fog" you'll have to face when you come off of it lasts weeks, sometimes month.
Literally puts you in a comfy dream, and coming off it will put you into a nightmare.
Jace Stewart
Good luck user.
Nicholas Gomez
I wouldn't. Have taken Xanax (lowest dose) for a little over 2 years & surprised I survived it. Made my panic attacks constant and much more intense (heart attack level. In the ER weekly+) Clonazepam is OMG I'm gonna die worse.
None of their so-called "relaxation" therapies worked for me. You can use your self awareness to gain control. Learn the difference between what you fear and what is really true. Only YOU have control. You're just afraid you don't.
Adrian Jones
oh shit i took them for a few weeks when I had panic disorder am i an eunuch
Joseph Collins
Fuck Klonopin, ask for Librium same result only milder in its effects on you klonopin is as bad as xanax. It will just make you drowsy
Luis Martinez
Fill it and send them to me
Nathaniel Garcia
Klonopin will fuck up your memory, and you'll end up more anxious in the long run. I think exposure to the thing that's making you anxious is the best method for dealing with anxiety.
Jose Murphy
I have been on 4mg of klonopin for around a year now. I am currently transitioning to get off of the meds.
Word of warning withdrawals are terrible. But all in all it is worth it, if it helps you function.
I will suggest therapy over drugs for this matter, it happened to help me more. Find a therapist you can trust like a friend.
Good luck user.
Adrian Nguyen
It's true I drove over a curb once when I was on Klonopin and caused about 1000 dollars in damage to my vehicle.
Brayden Nelson
Find some belledona and kill yourself, Why not Chlonidine Doc.
Noah Peterson
You need your amygdala.
Gabriel Roberts
I was taking 2mg a day for a year. No big deal for me. Made me feel tired a lot, but I didn't have any problem getting off of them. I may just be lucky. (They didn't do enough for the anxiety to stay on them.)
Joshua Smith
gee, dopaminergic and serotoninergic circuits are the basis of depression the same dopaminergic type of circuits that constitute the reward mechanism of your brain >i wanted to camp on the tracks >i'm somehow surprised that it was extremely easy for me to get addicted to fucking benzos
yeah, i'm pretty sure your prefrontal cortex isn't that well developed either
Landon Sanders
Clonazepam is one of the worst benzos to get off partly due to the ridiculously long half time.
You won't give a fuck about anything when you're on them though. Withdrawal is a bitch.
Ethan Wright
You don't need pills. Just stop being a weenie. Fake it until you make it.

Parker Lopez
>I have crippling social anxiety >Guess I should take Klonopin, I won't get addicted.
You know nothing about me you head shrink piece of garbage. You fucks have figured nothing out about depression, and you don't even know how psych drugs work.
You are not a doctor, you are a psychiatrist. I.E.: a quack.
Samuel Howard
Only you have control only you are your own master blablablabla easy to say but hard to do
pills will slow your motion, make you feel heavy and without a single care in the world OP, but for some it's better to feel that way than stay behind while everyone moves forward because you have trouble communicating
William Gonzalez
benzos can be harder and more dangerous to kick than heroin
Parker Nelson
All benzos have a paradoxical effect where you turn full retard once you pass a certain dosage instead of getting sedated and tired.
Never been on benzos or never stopped?
OP should get some oxazepam to use in emergencies only if he absolutely feels he needs benzos. Daily use is not recommended.
Gabriel Murphy
You can achieve this without drugs. The problem is delusion, and if you want to return to that without drugs, you should meditate, and seek alternate viewpoints for every situation that makes you uncomfortable or unhappy or self-conscious.
The biggest hurdles are the lack of belief in yourself and in your own abilities.
Angel Brooks
Only good for the end of psychedelics or to help with stim crashes.
If you're gonna abuse meds, abuse amphetamines/phenidates, and get shit done.
Levi Allen
DONT DO BENZOS YOU RETARDS
Austin Scott
doc gave me sertraline and inderal made me a bit sleepy and brain foggy kinda liked the effect was perfect to get through a work day lol But after taking it a while the effect got weaker and stopped.. quiting was kinda stupid brain zaps for 1,5 weeks.... In the end it was the actual therapy that helped probably most. Its sounds boring but it is true dont take meds and then just quit therapy meds are not some insta miracle they suppress your shit feels for a while until they dont work anymore and in that time you do therapy to fix it long term. Meds only work short term, use that time to fix it long term with therapy.
Jack Jackson
take about 5 of them and wash it down with some malt liquor and stop being a pussy today
think about your life a bit. how its for sure going to end is a good place to start. end the thinking with, but im alive today so i should probably start to live and put that whole trip of "what do people think" shit behind ya.
best we can tell is you only get one of these so go enjoy it for fucks sake and put your pussy ways behind you. lots to experience n shit
Thomas Reyes
Switch klonopin for xanax. works better IMO. i'v tried klonopin, Valium and xanax. xanax was the best but the memory fuckery side effect is a pain in the ass. but it makes me not give a fuck, i don't care what anyone thinks of me, i have no anxiety, im calm, im slightly sedated, im happy, i can talk to anyone about anything, i can walk alone without feeling awkward, its good. and the afterglow the day after is just as good anxiety reduction as the initial dose, sleep is incredible. it potentiates weed.
Aiden Richardson
I did 2mgs klonopin a day for a year. Then I changed doctors and my new one was scared of them, so I just quit. Didn't bother me much at all. I smoke pot like crazy, so maybe it helped relieve the symptoms? But it was no issue for me at all, I didn't know it was supposed to be hard.
Nathaniel James
Ive been taking vitamins, eating right and lifting since I got clean but cant seem to beat my social anxiety and feeling of desolation... admittedly i tried mindfulness only once when I first saw a doc and it just fell flat, maybe i should try again
I got an appointment with a doc and am hoping to try antidepressants again to see if i can get the magical lift others talk about that might help me build myself up even more. life really sucks, its worse to think back when i took valium and had no fear and was super happy
Exercise! Star with walking/running some 3 times a week and read this: "Convict Conditioning"
After applying all the knowledge in those, if you still need pharma for that shit then consider it. Good luck irmão.

>you abused them and got addicted so nobody else should take them.
just because you are weak doesn't mean everyone is.
Bentley Thomas
Benzos are great to have in case of actual anxiety attacks, but not the sort of thing that you should make a habit of / use recreationally for extended periods. People abusing them are the most intolerable fuckheads to be around.
Eli Morales
Why are benzos suddenly so prevalent in popular culture? Rappers always go on about xanax nowadays.
On Tumblr and social media people glorify benzo use.
It's bizarre.
Angel Flores
benzo's are addictive. moreso than meth, crack, heroin, and any other drug. Overdose and withdrawl can literally kill you. xanax has ruined more people than any drug i've personally seen. a dentist tried it on me once and it didn't work and i spazzed out and got kicked out mid procedure while high as fuck. i told my doctors to list it as an allergy on my chart. no doctor is going to complain that you don't want them.
Brandon Cook
This is true. And if you think social situations are hard now, wait until you have to endure them with never-enough benzos because your tolerance is through the roof. That scenario is how so many older ladies become agoraphobic.
Evan Gray
Because they make you feel delicious. Xanax does, anyways. Others are to weak.
Ethan Rogers
crippling is the fucking word of the day retard social anxiety is treated with repeated exposure therapy the problem is that when it's fucking crippling you can't do that because you're fucking crippled by it... i don't know if this makes any sense to you but think of it as of trying to fuck with a limp dick in order to get your dick up well, now you have to break the cycle somehow, you can't let the poor bastard be crippled, so you give them a temporary fix so that they can go out and get exposed then you ween them off and hope the exposure was sufficient to create a gap in the conditioning loop from their cortex to their amygdala
as for your depression, it's pretty much figured out, the only problem is some people have their neural architecture so fucked up or their life so much in the gutter that no amount of pills will do shit for them you can't grow new neurons and you can't get your wife to love you by taking pills
you are the equivalent of a legless fuck telling a guy with paralysis to not get a surgery that could possibly help him to walk again because a doctor gave you some pills and you didn't grow legs and doctors can't be trusted
fucking burgers man... no wonder your country is going to shit
Jordan Brooks
>Benzos are great to have in case of actual anxiety attacks Clonazepam is not one of them. Oxazepam/Diazepam is short acting, far better for emergency use.
Angel Lee
Society as a collective is in a state of mania, and unbeknownst to them, they seek opioids and benzos as a calming counteraction to this collective manic state.
Brayden Cooper
We had this thread yesterday. Anyways started out being prescribed .5 Ativan by a shrink and that gradually went up to 5 2mg Xanax, 5 15mg Temazpem and 7 10mg Ambien a day at my worst. Clean of all that now thanks to medical marijuana.
Ambien was the most euphoric high and also the worst withdrawals I've ever experienced.
Joshua Jenkins
I was prescribed a SNRI by a pain specialist as an alternative to opiates years ago. I can confirm the shit does mess you up. Was only on the stuff for a couple months before I quit and decided I'd rather be in pain than a zombie. I couldn't enjoy anything at all. Even sex was terrible. I swear I couldn't feel my dick. You could theoretically fuck for hours and not a drop. Shit would have been nice when I was 16 but I'm not a young man any more. Just need enough time to get the job done.
Jonathan Rodriguez
Hi! user with abit of medical info here!
You're better off take klonopin. Alcohol is actually doing much more damage than a benzo ever would and alcohol is making you pack on calories.
Also alcohol if you dont drink just the right amount to curb wtihdraws you can have a seizure and die.
Personally i dont think you're going to quit, just be evaluating on what you posted.
You're going to have withdraws regardless and the klonopin will make things much easier without destroying your internal organs like any amount of alcohol has.
Disregard anything i say if you want, but you'll see what i mean if you keep up your actions.
Gavin Ross
benzo's are like lean , they tranquilise people with anxiety and make normal people retarded/pass out
Brayden Gonzalez
probably because they are looking for something niche that makes them "cool". and rappers tend to smoke a lot of weed and benzos potentiates it's effects. xanax if you take enough for your weight + height can make you do shit you wouldn't normally. it can make you really impulsive and irrational, illogical. and I guess some people love that feeling of letting go and not being in control.
meanwhile it makes it harder for people who genuinely have anxiety to get because dr.s will just think you are going to abuse it, so if rappers weren't bad enough now they are taking the possibility of obtaining useful medications away from those in need... also abusing it gives it a bad rep which also adds to it being a RX redflag
Jordan Sanchez

They are anti-inhibition drugs, not "anti-anxiety" drugs. You will turn into a bigger.
Kevin Rodriguez
I used to take clonazepam (prescribed) and when I forgot to take it I would have horrific seizures. If not the seizures, sweating, shaking, misery. They are awful. Take them AS NEEDED ONLY but they are highly addictive - physically. I had to be hospitalized to be taken off of them.
Wyatt Mitchell
I dunno what all these other faggots are saying. I got some to take as sleeping pills. They're great. Totally knock me out.
Got drunk and crushed up about 5 of them and snorted them the other week. Felt pretty rekt but no real effects aside from enhancing the alcohol imo.
Ryan Nelson
Med professional here...Those drugs work well for anxiety but they are highly addictive. If you become addicted to them and you lose your doctor, good luck finding someone else to prescribe them for you. One of the withdrawal symptoms is seizures so you cant stop them cold turkey. Social anxiety is far better than addiction.
Dylan Perry
how many hours of porn per week do you watch user ? honest answer por favor
Imagine you have gone though life assuming you were shy. You don't hate social situations, but you get nothing out of them and when you leave you leave exhausted, imagine you rarely have a good comeback or can even actually contribute to most conversations, you just seem to be off by a sentence or two so you stay quiet. Let's even say you don't even feel nervous, you are just blank.
Then you take some benzos and suddenly you are the life of the party. And girls are smiling at you and saying "hi" and you have immediate clever comebacks and charisma and all sorts of shit that never happened before.
That's what makes them awesome and addicting.
Logan Collins
2mg /day for about year now on klonopin. This is only after about 4 years trying other anxiety meds and not really getting much better.
If I don't take it I can't get out of bed. If I do take it I can live a normal person like for the 6 hours it works.
I'm scared to quit, and pray everyday my psychiatrist doesn't change his mind
I could not recommend more very serious and intensive exposure/CBT therapy with an actual dr for 1-2months that you meet with at least once a week if not more, as soon as you start taking the meds.
