Clonazepam for the treatment of social phobia.

Abstract

Nine of 11 patients with social phobia of both the generalized and performance type responded to treatment with clonazepam in total daily doses ranging from 0.75 to 3 mg. Only 2 of these 9 had comorbid panic disorder; the benefit for social phobic symptoms appears independent of clonazepam's putative efficacy for panic disorder.
