I say that because its receptor binding profile does not resemble that of anything known to be beneficial in social phobia beyond a pilot study.
It often makes people anxious and induces akathesia, which is the last thing someone with social anxiety would want. I have tried it, and it was HORRIBLE.
I suggest you increase the clonazepam as necessary (2-4mg/day is a common dose for social phobia), discontinue Paxil, and add Nardil, starting at 45mg/day and increasing SLOWLY. Since you are already on clonazepam you may not need the 1mg/kg phenelzine normally required.
