I also have the diagnosis of Social Anxiety, BPII, etc. I'm currently taking Remeron 45mg and have taken Paxil at therapeutic doses. In my experience, Paxil and other SSRI's work much better for Social Anxiety. I believe it's due to their mechanisms of action. Remeron's affinity for norepinephrine vs. serotonin seems to make me more nervous and aggitated. Conversly, Paxil works with only serotonin which is calming once the drug enters it's therapeutic phase (2-6 weeks?)
