Hi, bluefusion. I was treated for GAD, General Anxiety Disorder rather than social anxiety but here's a good looking website on social anxiety disorder put together by someone else who has it:

bluefusionxl,

Zoloft did not help me, but I have a friend with the same problem and it did help her for a while.

Hey Blue,

If you haven't already done this, you may want to post about this in our Drug forum also. You may get more feedback from there.

Good luck!

It does help a bit on the higher doses . . . you feel less depressed and more social . . . but it does have its side effects like low sex drive.
