Medications with Therapy

Hi I have recently been Social Anxiety and also been in Therapy to assist with dealing with it, however I'm wondering if medication could also help with the physical effects of anxiety.

If anyone has experience with this combination and what medications they use any advise would be great, as I would be useful.

Thanks

Hey there, I take effexor & it really works for me, especially now that I am not self-medicating myself with painkillers. I would stay away from xanax and all those other benzos.  They are addicting and, in my experience, cause depression and can be harder to get off of then even opiates.  By the way, you are doing great:)
