Help: Escitalopram and beta-blockers don't treat the same things. For social anxiety -- not "performance" anxiety -- escitalopram tends to be more effective. It takes a few weeks to start working. However, each individual needs to be specifically considered, so no clear formula can be offered, and you need to speak to your prescriber.
