Hello Tamara
I hope the surgery went well and that you are recovering. I think surgery and just being in hospital can be traumatic especially if you suffer from social anxiety. All that questioning, constant interaction, sounds, smells etc not to mention the physical stresses of the surgery are stressful and anxiety provoking.I can't offer any medication solutions for SA. I was reading a study yesterday that said the strongest evidence for treatment of SA was with SSRIs http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15495010
I don't see a lot of support for their effectiveness in Babble posts. Maybe all the success stories don't need to post?I hope it goes well for you. If I find the SA answer the first thing I'll do is post it here!
Best wishes
sabre
