What’s the Best MEDICATION Treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder?
Question by prestonwhitlow: What’s the best MEDICATION treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder?
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.
