> Just for sleep, i would say probably no. I still take seroquel everynight to sleep as the klonapin doesn't put me to sleep. The klonapin doesn't really make me pro social.. just gets rid of the anxiety and makes it easier for me to want to be social. But nardil didn't really make me all that pro social either.. i found i was more spontanious at saying things but i was still nervous as all hell.. it was actually while on Nardil that i started klonapin in order to calm the anxiety down so i could go out and be around people.

Hey socialphobic and mav, I buy my rivotril from chemist warehouse which is the cheapest place around here for me. I restarted taking it about a year ago. Before that it was probably 3 years ago when I was paying the price of $50+
You're right about the rivotril making it easier to socialise. I would say it's pro social either but it just makes it easier to get out and about and it helps me just get on with my day. It is similar to valium in that respect but quite a bit stronger. I also forgot to mention that rohypnol/hypnodorm is still available in Australia for sleep but no GP would prescribe it.
I personally have nasty reactions to AP's. Seroquel, Zyprexa and Zeldox/Geodon mess me up to the point that I can't wake up and get out of bed let alone function, that's why I'm a benzo boy at the moment. I can't wait to start tapering and get off them, once I move house and get out of this nightmare. Peace C
