Anyone have information on Social Anxiety Disorder?

I'm looking for any information on Social Anxiety Disorder or any help from people who suffer from it, or information on varying cures. Also, if anyone knows any good websites giving additional info or group support, please let me know.

Also, if anyone has experience with being put on benzodiazepines, information on the effectiveness and personal experiences with them would be extremely useful.

There is a huge amount of information available on the Web about Social Anxiety Disorder. Check out my previous "best answer" to a similar question:

Regarding the use of benzodiazepines, I do have personal experience and opinions about them. I believe them to be:

1. VERY effective in lowering anxiety, there are also known as tranquilizers.

2. Useful as a short-term measure and as a last resort if anxiety levels reach unbearable levels, or if sleep is not possible.

3. Highly addictive, and may do more harm than good long term if you
do not address the SA directly with therapy and/or SSRI's.

In short, it is very easy and tempting to rely on tranquilizers, using them as a "crutch", and then never learning to "walk" with out them. Avoid their "regular" usage, you can, and if you must use them, be very careful...

Good luck on your healing journey. You CAN do it!
