Doctor, I would like to ask whether Flunil 20 mg (fluoxetine) can be used for social anxiety/social phobia. Is 20 mg an appropriate dose for treating social anxiety, or would you recommend another medication? Please guide me.

Choosing a drug for anxiety requires much more information. Flunil would not be my first choice if primary diagnosis is social anxiety. Preferred treatment is CBT.

These medications are not meant for over-the-counter use. If you are taking them on your own, please do not do so. If they have been prescribed by a psychiatrist, it is better to trust your prescriber and follow their advice. There is no universally “low” or “optimum” dose of a medication—the appropriate dose depends on the clinical condition, response, and individual patient factors. Therefore, it would be best to follow the treatment plan and dosage prescribed by your psychiatrist.
