I think it depends on if you're taking it chronically, or once in a while. When I would run out ($$ issues) and only take it 3 or 4 times a month, it was slightly pro-social. However, when taken everyday, it makes me very blah towards people, easily over-startled, and nearly anti-social (along with residual anxiety).
Higher amounts increase these effects, and small doses seem to be desirable. If I have to do a social function I take less the day before and the day of the event.
