Snowie,
I have been on Serzone for 3 weeks...gradually went up from 50 mg., am now on 300. I have suffered from social-phobia since my early teens. So far, I haven't noticed the Serzone giving me much help in that area. I still avoid most social situations at all cost. My husband is afraid I won't want to participate in Christmas, as I didn't on Thanksgiving. I hope things get better, but it may be too early to tell. The med that has worked the best for me in the past for social phobia and anxiety was Klonopin. I suggested this to my new doc but he wants me to get away from that. I guess because it is an addictive controlled substance. Well, it is always an option. I've heard Paxil can be helpful, too.
