I suspect this happened because of its antiserotonergic effects. SSRI's have helped with social anxiety, but I still get very bad anticipitory anxiety when taking them, and the Buspar seemed to help with that. Serzone and nortiptyline also helped with anticipatory anxiety in a somewhat exclusive way as well (for me).
