> >Dittos on the addictive aspects of Xanax. Be careful. Maybe good to discuss that with your doc. I don't think Xanax is a good choice for long-term treatment. When my prozac was working it did help with social anxiety. Good luck!
I tried Paxil a couple of years ago for post tramatic stress after a car wreck. I have always felt really shy and actually got held back a grade in elem. school because was too scared to talk to anyone. I did not take Paxil for social anxiety but I found I was more outgoing and it was an unexpected side effect. I think you should try a few Paxil is the one that was just approved for social anxiety.Good Luck!
