I can't point to them, but I remember reading studies dismissing trycyllics in social anxiety...
It's important to remember that social anxiety is somewhere between the panic end of the spectrum and the calm end of the spectrum, so what sometimes works for GAD in some, like trycillics or Buspar, don't have a chance at social anxiety. It's complicated, and we don't know why at all. But my guess is GABA is MUCH more of an issue in social anxiety than GAD, and this isn't realized well, so we get serotonin crapalla.
Well, I never took Paxil, But I've tried Effexor for 5 months at 300mg. No effect, but made me not be able to ejaculate. So as a result, I couldn't concentrate (chemicals released after ejaculation for me assist my ADD-focusing) and got a GPA of 1.7 last semester. I really do want my doctor, who I'm switching out of now, to go away and never talk to me again.
I'm not risking it with Paxil, Celexa I've tried, and it didn't do anything, I took it for a year. Paxil is likely to give me sexual dysfunction, and not do anything for my anxiety, just like the others. Not worth it. I can't believe how anyone can be cured by Paxil for SP, it seems weird to me.
