It might work via the pathway -> Risperdal (risperidone) D2 antagonism -> increase in pre-synaptic dopamine transmission (that's what happens with amisulpride and sulpiride at low doses) -> increase in dopamine -> social phobia/anxiety and dysthymic mood changed. All of the above are just my speculations, but I'd give it a shot instead of all the SSRIs prescribed for social p/a. OTOH there are gold standards: Klonopin, Parnate, Nardil. (in my case Amisulpride ;-)
