I've been on Paxil and the two things that bothered me were sedation and difficulty achieving orgasm. The latter, I've found, gets a bit worse with age. It also depends a lot on dose. Despite what Glaxo would have everyone believe, Paxil is not too crash hot for Social Phobia/Social Anxiety Disorder. The best drugs are phenelzine (Nardil), a MAOI, and clonazepam (Klonopin), a benzodiazepine. If you have depression as well, fine - an SSRI would be advisable, though probably wouldn't be enough by itself for the SAD.
