Who qualifies for social anxiety treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to determine if social anxiety medication is appropriate for you. They will assess your symptoms, medical history, and any existing conditions or contraindications based on the information you provide in your confidential online questionnaire. The goal is to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your specific situation. The doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring medical necessity and patient safety.
What social anxiety medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Medications commonly used for social anxiety, such as SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) or SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors), work by balancing certain neurotransmitters in your brain, like serotonin and norepinephrine. This can help reduce feelings of fear, worry, and avoidance associated with social situations. It's important to understand that these medications are not a 'cure' but rather a tool to manage symptoms, often in conjunction with therapy or lifestyle changes. Relief is gradual, typically becoming noticeable over several weeks, and consistent use as prescribed is key for best results. They do not instantly eliminate anxiety, but rather lessen its intensity and frequency, helping you engage more confidently in social settings.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, social anxiety treatments can have side effects. Common ones may include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, or changes in appetite, especially when starting the medication. These often subside as your body adjusts. It's crucial to report any persistent or severe side effects to your doctor. You should also be aware of red flags, such as worsening anxiety, panic attacks, or unusual mood changes. Never stop taking your medication abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your Hi-Doctor physician will guide you on managing side effects and when it might be appropriate to adjust or discontinue treatment.
