There is dfrence between intideeprassnt indicate for social anxiety or general anxiety? and can the one writing social anxiety work for gad like zolft
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Social v general anx: Oftentimes, the same medication may be used to treat your social anxiety that is already being used to treat general anxiety, tho some dose adjustments may be required. Of course, the best medication plan is the one that you & your doc discuss & find would have the greatest benefit/risk profile and the fewest side effects. Very best of luck!
