> Any SSRI and/or benzo can be very good for social anxiety. A good combo is an SSRI during the day and a benzo for sleep. Only a personal trial of each will determine whether Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, or Effexor are the best fit for you as a unique individual. And only a personal trial of Xanax or Klonopin likewise will determine your favorite choice. Wish there was an accurate way to predict.
Julia,
The only thing I dislike about the Xanax is that
it seems to be addictive. I take Xanax and Tofranil
and I have trouble doing w/o the Xanax. I have
an addictive history and that doesn't help. I'm
going to ask the Dr. if he would switch me to Klonipin
when I go back. I have sever social phobia and it
is a life killer; along with the panic disorder.
Wish you well!
