David, the Serzone really helped with social anxiety, but had no effect on my obsessions and rituals at all. The Effexor helps somewhat/moderately with the obsessive thinking and gives me energy to try to change my life (e.g., prevent myself from hoarding more stuff, and energy to overcome the anxiety involved in giving away/throwing away extra stuff I really don't need.) Unfortunately, the Effexor doesn't seem to decrease my social anxiety at all.--Cindy W
