I suffer with Social Anxiety and GAD and have done for 20 years. I have tried different medications but some work for a few years then I have to change for something else as they are no longer working. I have no social life as I get panic attacks even at the thought of socialising with friends. If anyone else is in a similar situation please could you let me know which medication is working for you. Thank you

Hi each medication is different for us all trial and error I guess till we come across one that works. I take mirtazapine long term user they worked well to begin with I suppose. have you tried meet up groups maybe you could meet up with like minded members going through the same as you.

Try Paxil (Paroxetine), start on 10mg, then increase as you need. It has helped me tremendously in social settings.
