> Have you ever tried exposure therapy for your social anxiety? Cognitive behavioral therapy worked only so-so with my teen daughter who has SA, but working with a therapist who made her go out to stores, the mall, answer the phone, call people up, go to a restaurant and speak up when she didn't like something, made a big difference for her. We need to constantly reinforce, but she's improved alot. CGT gave the knowledge of what to do, but she had to go out and DO it for it to work.

>Has she had any weight gain on the zoloft and seroquel?
