A lot of people have had tremendous success with Zoloft for social anxiety disorder.

For me personally, Zoloft has helped tremendously both for mild social anxiety I had as well as depression. Another medication I never have had but I've heard of is called "BuSpar". I think they stil prescribe it but I have no idea if it works, etc.

I am on paxil cr and it's not doing all that well. I tried it over 6 months and i'm thinking about trying something like klonopin.. i'm not exactly sure how to spell it though. Anyone try this stuff? Maybe i'll try zoloft~

Adderall! Prescribed for ADD and some sleep disorders works wonders for social situations. It gives you a false sense of well being....hence, confidence. Ask your doctor about it. I've read where many others find the same success in this drug. Make sure you consult a doctor who understand this drug.

Print some of the information on Adderall and take it to your doctor. In your browser insert "Adderall Social Situations" and plenty feedback will come up for you. Hope this helps.

Good luck. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/gabby.gif
