Top Ten Antidepressants for Social Anxiety Disorder

Social Anxiety Disorder is commonly treated with antidepressants - although only among those who seek help, which is approximately only half of those who have the disorder.

Anxiolytic medication such as Benzodiazapines (e.G. diazepam, Alprazolam) are not included below, due to having only a short-term relief.

The Top Ten

1 Phenelzine

I don't take any medication for my anxiety and depression, since I've found it to be counter-productive. (Believe me, I've tried.) However, I know several people who have had success with this.

2 Paroxetine

3 Fluvoxamine

4 Escitalopram

5 Sertraline

Definitely! After all, without it, I'd probably be in a mental hospital!

6 Fluoxetine

This kind of helped me

7 Venlafaxine

8 Tranylcypromine

9 Citalopram

10 Moclobemide
