> Definitely clonazepam, taken twice daily to keep a very constant concentration in the brain. It's a high-potency benzodiazepine (diazepam's not). I found diazepam totally useless, but clonazepam is starting to help my Social Phobia at 6 mg per day total. I don't feel sedated, just have a reduction in anxiety. You can go up to 16 mg per day if necessary.
>hello, chemist here. diazepam is WAY more potent than clonazepam. 16 mg qd is putting you in the category of a person who suffers from epilipsy. diazepam is extremely potent, way more so than klonopin. you need to look at dose/response curces. and active metabolites, not elimination. all the best, chemist
