A few things that make the social anxiety patient fearful and stressed are:
• Being teased or criticized
• Getting to meet new people
• Having all the attention
• Seeing people who work in authorities position (some important people like supervisor)
• Being watched while working on something
• Most of the social gatherings
• Having interpersonal relations, friendly or romantic
You might be having social anxiety if these symptoms apply to you and the way you feel being social. Don’t lose hope and think that you are the only person having this problem and no one will come forward to help you. There are quite a few types of successful social anxiety medicine available today.
Cognitive-behavior therapy is one of the leading successful types of social anxiety treatments available today. Basically, cognitive behavior works with the brain and how and what we think. Since how we feel seems to be the major part on social anxiety, this therapy is a really good way of treatment for social anxiety. It teaches us on new ways of thinking and how to behave in social places. Cognitive behavior is widely used and is being recommended by lots of psychologists and therapists.
Cognitive behavior therapy has a chance to produce some long term changes in our lives but only when used consistently and hence this cognitive behavior therapy has been very successful as a treatment for social anxiety. But this result can be obtained provided the patient has no such health issues as dementia, brain damage, Alzheimer’s disease which might contribute to social anxiety. This cognitive behavior therapy will tell upon many types of cognitive times in our lives, which helps with our beliefs and new thoughts that comes up in our brain.
Medication is another treatment for social anxiety which is most of the times recommended with cognitive behavior therapy. Anti-anxiety, anti-depressant drugs, beta-blockers are few types of medications for physical symptoms which are helpful for social anxiety. Though there might be a feeling on the 1st day of taking the anti-depressant, it takes a few weeks for the drugs to act on the brain and the body and produce an actual effect on you. Medication actually just helps to lessen the anxiety while undergoing the therapy and does not completely cure the social anxiety. Medication must not be taken in your treatment for social anxiety alongside with the therapy. The therapy can be availed as an individual or group therapy. Only a trained therapist can recommend what you need best based on the needs.

I suffer from social phobia/ anxiety. I dread leaving my house and even ordanrily mixing with people is stressful
I was formerly on zoloft and lagactl but I feel very insecure after taking lagactl so I’m off it.
I still feel I need extra to the zoloft( actually sertraline which is the generic name)
If you know of any superb treatments, pls let me have them , whether medication or therapy. I prefer medication though!
Aristotlelus,
I can relate to how you feel. I used to suffer from anxiety/agoraphobia.
I was thinking too much. I had anxiety attacks when I had to speak in public. Or when there would be more than a few people around me in the same room. It was something that started when I was a teenager and that lasted over years and subsequently affected my career until not so long ago. Looking back, I feel I should have taken action way earlier. But anyway, that’s the past.
At some point, I was prescribed medicine but I wanted to avoid that because of the side effects (just my point of view but you should think about it). That’s when I discovered a program that cured me. It is a 100% natural method. You can find it here:

The key of that technique is that you should no longer fear the thought of anxiety. You know what I mean? You are thinking too much. You have to get out of that loop.
Tackle the issue ASAP. You can get rid of it – others have, I have.
Good luck!

Please don’t list any benzodiazapenes.
Please list medications only, and no miracle cures. Please don’t answer if you dont have social anxiety and have never undergone treatment; in other words, dont post what you read on a website. I’m looking for honest answers from personal experience. Please don’t mention any kinds of "therapy" (cognitive, group,etc.) I’m only interested in medications, preferrably those currently available in the US.
I know that everyone responds differently to medicine, but I’m basically just asking what (if anything) has worked for you.
I was on Effexor and it seemed to help a little, but I had major mood swings. I switched to Wellbutrin and that has helped my anxiety greatly. The side effects were minimal and easy to deal with. I’m also currently on Seroquel which helps put my mind at ease at night, that also works pretty well, but I’ve had some short term memory issues with that one. It’s nothing I can’t deal with so I keep taking it because it works.
