Escitalopram and Clonazepam have shown to be effective on their own for Social Phobia. Bupropion alone is pretty useless for Social Anxiety IMHO (altough one very small study shows some success: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11091936), but it can be used to combat SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction, to augment SSRIs improving response rate (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/528228) and to prevent weight gain. Clonazepam reduces the side effects of Bupropion and vice versa.
Next generation antidepressants will have similar action like a SSRI-Bupropion combo (increasing 5-HT, NE and DA levels).
