meds for social anxiety and depression

[Psychedelic Jay]

Its been concluded that psychiatry and psychological therapy in conjunction is the best approach

OP don't be fooled: there is a reason why SSRIs are so widely prescribed - by and large they work

Benzodiazepines are rarely so easily prescribed as SSRIs by responsible doctors. They may initially seem like extremely helpful drugs with a low side effect profile but they are among the most addictive substances known to man, produce a debilitating withdrawal, damage the brain long-term, and oftentimes lose so much efficacy that even a high dose hardly takes care of symptoms.

Listen to what people say about changing habits - exercise and such. This is what will lastingly help you out OP.

If you are considering a Benzodiazepine at least read what so many people say about them on this site and shoot me a PM if you want more information. I'm all too happy to give it.

Nulling people out is not working...

i noticed he concentrated a lot of what he called "shyness and social anxiety"

I suffer from BiPolar and anxiety. Which was first thought to be depression. I take Tegretol (not addictive) for BiPolar, and Klodine and Lorazipam (narcotics) for anxiety. I have tried near everything. These two pills I have found to have the least side effects and to be the least habit forming.
