sorry :-( paxil was great for me, too, initially; I didn't gain weight (maybe b/c I'm a guy?), but it did make my mood "shifty", and I actually got MORE depressed--but less anxious--after a while. Then it stopped working. Have you tried Klonopin? Its a benzo, so some docs are reluctant to prescribe it but..if you can get the dose up to 1-3mgs, usually that's enough to take care of most social phobias. BuSpar helps some people but...I wasn't impressed. Good luck!
