Zoloft(sertraline) is very effective in treating all types of anxiety disorders, infact its FDA approved to treat social anxiety disorder. It's also is an anti-depressant.

It has worked very well for alot of people, including me(100mg) with SA but obviously some people may react differently to AD's but i think this drug is very good.

Also CBT therapy may help you.

Worth a try! Good luck.

Well, I took a Xanax before church today and it was like I took nothing at all. I was so incredibly restless.....like a "pent-up" animal!! I'm guessing that my switch back to the brand name Wellbutrin (from the generic) may be part of the issue. I do like Wellbutrin, as it does give me the energy I need in my workweek. I am able to expend this energy in the classroom. When at church, I am afraid of meeting new people and i just want to get "in and out". I do hate crowds (always have).

I did try Zoloft last year and had to stop it because of the side effects. I've tried Cymbalta, Lexapro, Buspar, Wellbutrin, Xanax, Klonopin...and the list goes on!

I have always been high-strung with anxiety and tenseness. I just need something that will "tone me down" when I know that an anxiety-ridden situation is at hand. Perhaps my dosage of Xanax is not high enough (.25mg); or, perhaps is the generic form that is not working for me.

Who knows.

What was the dose of the Xanax you took today?

I take the generic (alprazolam) as needed, and it works for me. I have 1mg and usually split it in half and take .5. Sounds like your dose to me.

The dose of my generic Xanax is .25 (bottle says to take 1 pill every 8 hours as needed). Hardly seems like it is even touching me.
