I developed social anxiety at age 8 after death of grandad. It just came out of the blue. For the next 12 years woke up every morning completely exhausted. Out in public sweating, unable to concentrate (even at home). Only due to me having best parents in world that got through academic study. Citalopram did nothing for me. Meditation i have given a good go and did nothing (with or without meds). Paroxetine has saved me. I still have no confidence but at least i am awake and able to stay awake all day (not like a zombie). The past two years on paroxetine have easily been my most enjoyable.
