There's no single best medication. What works for someone else might not work for you, and vice versa. Just keep trying different meds, dosages and combinations until you either give up or find the right one for you.

I also take atenolol 100mg a day and in social situations or when i panic it really slows my breathing down, soon as adrenalin starts kickin in thats when my atenolol appears to work

The first week or so i could not blush on atenolol, i went over embarrasing things with my mother to make me blush and i couldn't but after about a week my blushing came back, like my body had learnt how to bypass my medication it always happens

To be honest i wouldn't go back on SSRI's id rather stick with beta blockers because seroxat used to make me shake and various other SSRI's

as its been already said..

the solution is simple, implementation is hard..

it is because the mind is wired up to say that people are staring at u whenver u see people..

u can actually change that..

by changing your subconsious mind..

its like when u feel like pooing, you will automatically go to the loo..same concept here..

and btw, there is no drug that could change that,,
