In reply to Celxa works better for social anxiety than Xanax!, posted by Alara on December 23, 2002, at 23:47:08

Dear Alara,

<<Well, I started on 10mg of Celexa on Saturday and by Monday morning, almost all of the social anxiety was gone!>>

SSRIs take at least a couple of weeks to kick in, especially in depression and social phobia and in rare cases (absolutely rare) some patients respond after the first week. But in your case it kicked in within a couple of days and that means it did well to augment the effect of xanax which you are already on. SSRIs and other antidepressants usually being added to a benzo to augment their efficacy, and this combination does wonders in most cases. But to be reasonable enough I must say, I will definitely prefer xanax monotherapy for social phobia.
