I've had anxiety and drepression since I was a teenager, both have gotten better in the past few years but I still have pretty bad social anxiety (especially with the pandemic and all, I got used to being away from people). My psychiatrist prescribes be 0.5 mg - 1mg of Klonopin to use at my discretion only when my anxiety gets really bad. This doesn't happen very often, like maybe once a month so I don't think I'm building tolerance to it. However for really bad social anxiety 1 mg doesn't seem to be enough. I get all the physical side effects (feel drowsy, kinda "buzzed", feel kind of out of it) but anxiety is only reduced partially. 

I have an important meeting with my boss coming up and then some college finals (oral exams) and I don't know if I should even bother taking the Klonopin. Sometimes the relaxing effect that it has makes me more prone to crying, which would be terribly embarrassing. 

Should up the dose of Klonopin? Try Xanax instead? (I've tried 0.5mg before and it did nothing for me but maybe 1mg?)

The only thing that works is alcohol, A couple of drinks and I can talk to anyone but I can't be drunk at a work meeting lol 

Any other advice is welcome, I'm tired of letting this thing prevent me from doing the things I want.
