Has anyone tried SSRI's such as Prozac or similar?

Hi,

Has anyone tried SSRI's (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) such as Prozac or similar for treating paruresis? If so were they helpful?

Some of these drugs seem to have quite a long list of potential side effects but are supposed to be effective for treating anxiety disorders such as paruresis in some people.

Several years ago I was prescribed antidepressants - I think they were SSRIs...while my depression was greatly relieved, I can't report any improvement in my paruresis during this time. The workshops, on the otherhand, did work wonders.
