I was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder about 3 years ago. I’m 19 and only have several friends in high school. I get extremely nervous and uncomfortable in social situations with people I don’t know. I made no friends and talked to virtually no one in my first year of college. I was prescribed Zoloft and took it for 2 years and it had no effect. I don’t want to go back on drugs but I’m miserable and don’t know what else to do. Does any have experience with social anxiety disorder or no someone who has it? What worked for them? Should I try another type of SSRI such as Paxil CR or some other kind of drug?

I know that many people say that the way to cure the fear of bats is to learn about them, but I have a serious phobia of them. Its really, really hard for me to even look at a picture of them cause I have such a fear of them. What can I do to cure this phobia? I personally think that if I saw a real live bat, I might pass out from fear. Thanks for any help.

Both of them disturbs a person. But what is major difference between these two?
I know a person and she is too shy and too hesitant. She will not go out if some people are standing out and waits till they go. Fears making frank relations. Is an introvert. Even if she has to ask someone again through mail; she cannot. Does this comes under fear or phobia?

I suffer from social phobia/ anxiety. I dread leaving my house and even ordanrily mixing with people is stressful
I was formerly on zoloft and lagactl but I feel very insecure after taking lagactl so I’m off it.
I still feel I need extra to the zoloft( actually sertraline which is the generic name)
If you know of any superb treatments, pls let me have them , whether medication or therapy. I prefer medication though!
