What drug is the best for treating Social Anxiety Disorder?


There really is no drug for Social Anxiety Disorder. Paxil is supposed to help, but it really does nothing for the main problem which is poor social skills. The best thing to do is desenitization, although I suppose if the anxiety is really bad xanax can help.

    If it’s more than casual, an antidepressant. Which one really depends on how you respond. Talk to your doctor, and seriously consider therapy. Social anxiety is something that responds well to counseling.

    SSRI antidepressants are used, such as Prozac. Anti-anxiety meds may be used for more severe cases.

    There is no best drug. Keep trying until you find one that works.
