What are some treatment options for social anxiety disorder/social phobia?

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:33:11 +0000

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?

What is the likelihood of my depression returning?

I have a history of severe depression. My mom is very against medication and counseling, and reluctantly allowed me to go on the lowest dosage of zoloft. It helped, but now she wants me to go off of it and stop going to my doctor. My fear is that my depression will return. What are the chances of my depression returning, and how can I handle it if and when it does?
