What are some medications for people younger than 18 with Social Anxiety?

February 28th, 2010
Crystal asked:


Paxil is a highly recommended medication to treat social anxiety and other problems- for people 18 years or older. For someone who is 16 with the problem, and possibly with depression, is Paxil still recommended? What are some other medications that will reduce or treat social anxiety without the harmful mental affects that alot of anti-depressants carry. Also, are these harmful mental affects like thoughts of suicide or murder common?

I can’t do it anymore. I am suffering from extreme anxiety and depression, it’s effecting my ability to work, study, write papers, take exams… I would rather drop out of college entirely than continue to make bad grades.Should I drop out? I am currently receiving help and taking medication but it’s not working. Should I just end the suffering some way some how?
I feel extremely sad and paranoid all of the time. I can’t live like this.

I get anxiety attacks where im pacing all around, and i want something to calm me down. Anyone with experience please help. I do things like pull my hair and bite my nails and get too anxious followed by mild depression. I have heard of many different prescribed meds that could calm me down and help a little? What would be good for it and who should I seek for professional help for this?
