I have suffered of social anxiety since my teen years, I'm 24 right now. I first discovered about this condition around the same time I discovered this site, which was about 2 years ago. Since then, I've been looking at different alternatives to overcome my social anxiety. It seems that there is 2 different possibilities in trying to overcome the social anxiety, either with medication or with CBT.
I haven't really explored the CBT route, I'm not exactly sure how it would help....but as far as medication goes, I have to say that the side effects is something that really scares me, specially drug which have sexual dysfunction.
With the research I've made not only on this site but also on others...I've came to the conclusion that beta blockers is what seems to have the most impact at improving the S/A...I say this based on experience of others who have tried this. I'm talking about propraonolol. There is a thread that is stickied on this forum about it, and 90% of comments in that 6 page thread are all somewhat positive.
So I went online and ordered Inderal (propranolol) and tried it. I have decided to make a journal and my day to day usage of this drug, and give you guys basic info on how this drug is helping (or not) with my social anxiety, and also giving info about side effects.
I placed my order for 30 (40 mg) Inderal from mexmeds4you.com on september 3rd. I got it exactly on september 19th and tried it for the first time on that date.
