I think some people assume that all of the SRIs are alike in their efficacy in treating social anxiety disorder (SAD). However, it seems to me that Lexapro is usually ineffective, while Paxil and Effexor are the most effective of this group. MAOIs, particularly Nardil, have been thought to be the best for treating SAD. Clonazepam makes for a good adjunct to Nardil.
