Every medicine has side effects. Even the food you eat has side effects that are called lifestyle diseases. Even oxygen has side effects in the body and so is not stored in the body in excess. So whatever you consume will have side effects eventually. But for almost every side effect of any medicine is known to us and we can control the side effects. If not tolerable at all then different medicine is tried which has lesser side effects or different mechanisms of action hence eliminating the intolerable side effects of previous medicine. For psychiatric medicines the dose is titrated while initiating and stopping. So that the body gets adjusted to the side effects easily.
For Social Anxiety, if the medicines are not working for you then another advice will be to get psychotherapy.
Medicines will have beneficial effects at times side effects. You have to weigh the benefits with the side Effects. If the side effects are more, no point taking. If benefits are more then you can consider. You can also try cognitive behavior therapy for the same. It might work. Good luck
Hi if inspite of taking medications if symptoms persist , I think u need re evaluation of the diagnosis and can try with therapy along with the medications
