Asked by Female, 48 · 14 hours ago

Feeling anxious while talking to people is common in conditions like social anxiety, and medicines like Escitalopram and Clonazepam are often used to help manage it, but they should be continued only under your doctor's guidance. Escitalopram is usually safe for longer-term use and helps reduce anxiety gradually, while clonazepam is generally meant for short-term relief and should not be taken for long periods without review due to the risk of dependence. Do not stop or change the dose on your own; instead, follow up with your doctor to assess your progress and decide whether to continue, adjust, or slowly taper the medication. Along with medicines, counselling (such as CBT), relaxation techniques, and gradual exposure to social situations can greatly improve confidence and reduce fear over time.
