Anti-anxiety medication & Alternative options and home remedies
For social anxiety, anti-anxiety drugs are often recommended. A few of these medicines are:
- Alprazolam
- diazepam (Valium)
- lorazepam (Ativan)
- clonazepam (Klonopin)
These drugs usually take effect fast, although they have the potential to become habit-forming or have sedative effects. Your doctor might not recommend an anti-anxiety medication for long-term use because of this.
Alternative options and home remedies include:
- Lifestyle changes
- Meditation
- Acupuncture [8]
- Yoga
