A member asked:
I suffer from severe social anxiety, some days are worse and i will often avoid situations due to anxiety, is it possible to try a benzodiaze to treat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mixed bag: A benzodiazepine can be very useful for an emergency, when you have to go out but are feeling very anxious, but is a bad choice for regular use. SSRI drugs are preferred for maintenance.
