In reply to favorite drug for social anxiety..., posted by sar on April 19, 2001, at 1:25:36
Paxil @ 40 mgs worked pretty well. Right now I'm on 30mgs celexa and that seems to be doing ok for most depression SP and anxiety issues. If i have to give a presentation or speak before a crowd, I'll take .5 mgs klonopin 45mins to an hour ahead of time.
Some people with SP swear by the MAOI's Parnate and Nardil, but it's my natural inclination to like cheese more than people to begin with, so I'd rather give up all human contact than give up cheese as is required with most MAOI's.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be very effective if you can find someone well trained in the use of it for SP. I'm usualy a skeptic when it comes to therapy, but this works.
good luck
