Its up to the indivudual as to whether or not to use medication to overcome SA or any other problem. I personally have chosen not to but that is my choice. Some people struggle to get through each day and the medication helps them to cope better.
Medication wont cure your SA, it wont get rid of the symptions it will just help you cope abit better. The only way to overcome SA completley is through CBT and changing the way you think about things. People with SA are usually very negative and have low self esteem so that is where CBT comes in.

From "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders"
"help move clients in the direction of change that relies on their efforts in therapy, not temporary symptom relief that may be found by taking a pill."
