I know the beta-blocker's do have the unfortunate side-effect of causing depression or worsening of pre-existing, so that is not always an appropriate choice. My daughter took Paxil, which truly took away ALL social anxiety. Alas, it threw her into a massive mania but that doesn't mean it would do the same for you. I don't have any personal experience with the treatment of social anxiety (just my daughter's) so I don't have a whole lot to add. Just the Paxil can really make a difference and irriterate your finding with the beta-blockers causing fatigue and depression.
Good Luck :-)
