As far as I know the meds are the same for both, but honestly, I think CBT is more effective for social anxiety. I had a really bad problem with social anxiety a few years ago and was actually diagnosed with social phobia. I did an 8 week CBT group specifically for social phobia, and it really helped me a lot - more than any meds did.
