S. HOWARD,
I can tell you that from experience when I was taking Prozac for anxiety attacks, my social anxiety disappeared completely. I was in school at the time, and for me to read in front of a class of people was unheard of, but while I was on Prozac, I never gave it a second thought. And, it helped in every other aspect of my life as well. Also, I wanted to tell you that I am weaning off Paxil now. It was also give to me for generalized anxiety and panic disorder; however, it made me worse too-much worse, so don't feel alone. It's like any other medication. It works for some, but not for others. On the other hand, my best friend went on in for social anxiety, and she is a changed person!!! Good luck to you...Lisa
