I was taking 20mg propranolol (tried 40mg once too) for social anxiety, but didn’t notice any benefits. Any other things I could try? Did you take anything for your depression, Jordan? Or is it something that just went away on its own? I was thinking of trying Wellbutrin, but I don’t to experience an increase in anxiety symptoms. ---

We would recommend talking to your doctor about this, as there are a number of different therapies including medications and behavioral therapy that can be used here. Wellbutrin would not be one of these agents. ---

The reply was absolutely right but what I don’t like about visiting doctors and therapies is that they are a long process. They take time for you to recover. I know some people consider CBD as a drug but I don’t because I use it. I can’t necessarily say how much effective it is at treating anxiety because I have no experience about that, but from different sources, it is known that it works ---
