What do antidepressants feel like for people with social anxiety?

For someone who has social anxiety disorder, can you tell me what changes the drug had on you? Did you feel indifferent to and relaxed around your social surroundings, when interacting with people?
Did you feel more confident to approach people and able to properly talk to them in public social settings where you wouldn’t normally otherwise?

thanks!

I have been there done that social anxiety sucks all medication does is make you feel numb as if you are drunk prescription alcohol in a pill. I know the feeling of turning red in the face and freak out just talking to someone for no reason at all it sucks I won’t lie and only those that have been though it understand.

I will say you best option is to find a better ways to deal with you social anxiety all medication does is numb you and turn you into a different person and some of the medication can become very addictive such as xanax, valium, and any class of benzos that the doctors would love to give you.

In all honesty I beg you not to take medication for social anxiety it can be overcome without the use of drugs. I have been down that road and it’s not pretty trust me, If you think I wrong watch a show on A&E Intervention half the drug addicts are hooked on pills their doctors gave them.

In the end working with yourself and a total medication free program will be a great benefit to you in the end, you will remain your self and learn how to deal with your anxiety without the use of medication. Check out this site it has worked great for me and I have been on every medication you can think of only to find that you can solve the whole problem your self it’s all in you head as they say. Hope this helps and just so you know I totally understand what you are going through, it will get better.
