Who qualifies for social anxiety treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually, looking for specific criteria to ensure safe and effective treatment. They assess your medical history, current symptoms of social anxiety, and any other medications you may be taking. The doctor determines if medication is an appropriate part of your treatment plan, considering factors like the severity of your anxiety, its impact on your daily life, and any potential contraindications. The goal is to ensure the treatment is suitable and safe for your specific health profile.
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 neurotransmitters in the brain that affect mood and anxiety. They help reduce the intensity of fear and worry associated with social situations, making it easier to engage in daily activities. It's important to understand that these medications don't offer an instant cure; they typically take a few weeks to reach their full effect. They are most effective when combined with other coping strategies or therapy. They aim to alleviate symptoms, not fundamentally change your personality or eliminate all discomfort, but rather to make social situations manageable again. Beta-blockers may also be considered for managing physical symptoms like trembling or rapid heartbeat.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, those for social anxiety can have side effects. Common initial side effects for SSRIs/SNRIs might include nausea, headache, dizziness, or sleep disturbances, which often subside as your body adjusts. Beta-blockers can cause fatigue or low blood pressure. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions precisely. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if your symptoms worsen, contact your doctor immediately. Never stop taking your medication abruptly without medical advice, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide clear guidance on managing side effects and when it might be appropriate to adjust or discontinue treatment.
