Did not do anything for me unfortunately. The only side effect it gave me was 20 extra kilograms.
I gave it a good shot 6 months but hopefully it works for you. Many people have had success on it.

I heard of lot of people with SA that gives them relief at last. I have heard that common side effect is insomnia. But, i guess you function well, so you have less time to sleep (Although it is not definition of insomnia)

My worry is-when i come to doctor all frightened of authority that he would me presribe someting harder rather than this one . I rember that when some member told doctor that shee feels people our watching her, he missed her condition with psychosis.

My friend was taking it for a bit, at first I thought she said it might have been working.. but later on I remember it causing more side effects than helping. She has since changed her medicine.

Your welcome. I didn't mind the extra weight much either. I went from 70kgs to 90. I now have shoulders and an even bigger ass

I've taken it for OCD and social anxiety and it has helped with both. Specifically, my strong social anxiety nearly vanished when I went up to 20 milligrams. When I tried going back down to 15 milligrams, it came back, so I went back to 20 and within a month and a half my social anxiety was back down again.

Lately I'm feeling a little more anxious and I'm not sure if it's because I missed a dose several weeks ago or if I'm just having a bad week or two. We'll have to see I guess. My psychiatrist recommends combining cognitive therapy AND medication when it comes to something such as social anxiety. I'd recommend the same.
