Is there anything my gp can prescribe for my social anxiety?

Social Anxiety Help: Yes, there are medications that can help lower social anxiety. Since most anxiety medications have the problem of physiological addiction, they are best used briefly (2-3 weeks at most) for specific situations. In addition, a good psychotherapy with a licensed provider can provide long term relief without those side effects.

Meds: Anxiety meds are anxiety meds. It doesn't really matter what type of anxiety we are talking about be at social or any other type. There is no one single medication that is best for anxiety. Finding the medication that's right for the patient is often a time consuming matter of trial and error. This means finding the right medicationfor the right patient, taken in the right dosage.
