Buspirone
"I've had social anxiety since high school and was put on Zoloft, which never worked.  I eventually developed panic attacks when I was 26.  I've tried Xanax for a few days after I was diagnosed and hated it.  Was put on Celexa 20mg and did not see any improvement after a year. I learned to self manage and handle my anxiety attacks and knew that I wasn't going to die.  I went for a few years like this until I got medical insurance.  I went to the Dr. After reading reviews on Buspirone and asked if she thought it'd help with my anxiety. I took 7.5 twice a day for the first 2 weeks and noticed almost immediate (about 30 mins) relief.  Yes it does make you dizzy for a few weeks but nothing you can't handle.  Give it 6 wks and you'll love it!"
