The initial study of clonazepam in social phobia conducted by Versiani et al. [1989] showed an overall benefit of the drug. This 8-week, open trial of 40 subjects displayed statistically significant lowering of scores on the efficacy variables, which included the Clinical Global Improvement and Severity Scales [Guy 1976], Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale [liebowitz 1987], Hamilton Anxiety Scale [M. Hamilton 1959], and the Sheehan Disability Scale [D. V. Sheehan 1986]. The mean dose of clonazepam was 3.9 mg/day [SD 0.5 mg]. Subjects in this study reported high rates of side effects, including sleepiness [67.5%], loss of libido [67.5%], and memory problems [35%]. 

Guy Hamilton returned to helm Connery s one-time return for Diamonds Are Forever, and this time the director imbued the him with more humor than ever before, sometimes dipping into slapstick. After the hnancial failure of On Her Majesty s Secret Service, the producers must have dictated that the new Bond him be more of an entertaining romp than a serious spy picture. Audiences apparently loved the result, for Diamonds Are Forever brought the grosses back on track. And Connery said goodbye once more.
