Just wondering, as a PRESCRIBED drug for combating social anxiety, can Valium be a good beginning point for someone who feels a constant need to drink because of social anxiety?

Yes, I was prescribed. Just had to go to the correct psychiatrist. But my point is if people want drugs, they are going to get them no matter what.

Now back to my original question...

I was recommended to take on day I have stressful situations, but only to ease into social exercises and going out more without drinking.
