Has anyone actually had success using Paxil for social anxiety/phobia?

uh... it helped... but i needed a benzo
it reduced anxiety... and more importantly... made me more aggressive and positive

It helped my anxiety a good deal, but killed my motivation at the same time. Catch22-- such is life.

I went up to 80 mgs of Paxil and had several side effects I didn't like. Weight gain, sex disfunction and higher cholesterol and blood pressure. Have backed down on the Paxil to 20 mgs plus Buspar and trazadone for sleeping. I am skeptical of Paxil, but the doc keeps pushing it.
