I've noticed Effexor helps me to be more social for certain. I can smile at strangers now, when before I felt like they would think I'm weird or I'd be crushed when they don't return the smile. I'm a lot more secure in that sense now that I'm on effexor, and I'd have to say, it doesn't exactly take away my inhibitions. It does take away that social inhibition I had that made people think I wasn't a nice person.
