What is the best medication for Social Anxiety Disorder, not the class of medications but the actual medication name? Thanks

Why aren't you discussing this with your doctors?
Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin, Valium ....
Beta-blockers are some times used. There is also exposure therapy.
These medications, the benzo's can be addicting so just explore all your options with your doctors to ensure that you're getting the most appropriate treatment.
Take care,

you really do need to take roxie's advice I can't understand why you haven't discussed your meds with your dr to get the right combination that suits you. Take care Piglit

Medication is helpful, but I strongly believe that its a last resort. Try holistic therapies like meditation and guided imagery. Seeing a counseller who utilizes these techniques and specializes in anxiety and depression would probably be very helpful for you. Meditation and guided imagery are also good coping skills.
