Re: The Best Antidepressant for Social Anxiety???

hi :)

ZOLOFT IS THE SAME TYPE OF ANTIDEPRESSANT AS PAXIL, A ssri OR PROZAC TYPE
you may do better on another type such as effexor, a SNRI type

generally all antidepressant meds help with SA about the same amount, the problem is to find 1 whose early side effects arent too severe for you and later works properly for you
paxil is heavily advertised for SA but I dont think its any better than the others

it can help to take a low starting dose, if needed, split the tablets into halves or quarters, IMO the extended release versions arent worth the extra money
