Social anxiety was horrible, so I started taking clonazepam (generic klonopin. Started 2 mg per day (1 mg am, 1mg pm). It worked AWESOME at 1st. Of course I had the initial drowsiness, but that went away after 1 week. I felt energetic, talkative, creative, and downright happy. At my job interview, I was the one who initiated conversation. I still had my love for creating music and playing guitar, and playing video games.
Fastforward to one month later. On the same dose. Not working as well, or so I think. Not as outgoing as I was when i 1st started. Although it still helps with my obsessive social anxiety phrases (listen, be confident, eye contact.) I dont have those anymore. Whats even worse though, is I dont really have any huge interests like I used to. I used to be a big workout buff. Now im not. Used to play guitar for hours on end. Now I dont.
My question is this...
Is it the klonopin making me depressed, causing my lost interest in activities. OR, am I depressed about the klonopin not working as well as when I 1st started.
Im either lowering the dose to .5 mg 3*day, or upping the dose to 1mg 3*day.
Anyone with experience with klonopin, please give me some insight. I will greatly appreciate it, as I am at wits end so to speak. Thanks in advance.
