Best meds for anxiety?!


Question:

Best meds for anxiety?

recently i have been prescribed to paxil and have been taking it for about a month. it has helped the anxiety slighty, but not really when i am in social settings. i absolutely hate the way the paxil makes me feel. it just numbs all of my emotions and makes me feel like a zombie. i dont think i have depression, because im normally a happy person. but i just get very nervous and have panic attacks in social settings. so i believe i have social anxiety disorder. i have an appointment with my doctor this week to discuss other options but i would like to be informed of different drug choices that are available. can anyone list the different types of meds that will help social anxiety disorder, and if you have used any which has helped you best? thanks

Answers:

Paxil (paroxetine) or fluoxetine (prozac) is really a good choice. But since it is not suiting you alprazolam or even clonazepam may be useful alternatives.
