Based on my own experience I would give ixel the thumbs up for anxiety, especially the social anxiety type.
My anxiety is weird. It is mild but troublesome. It starts around 4pm each day, mellows out by 8pm, but when I wake up at 5am it is full force almost to paranoia sometimes. Ixel in 3 days flattened out that entire curve, to where I felt energetic and yet calm all day and evening, slept deeper than in a very long time, and woke with zero anxiety. I was comfortable in social settings and people commented that I looked better.
As with any psych drug, mileage varies. One of the possible listed ixel side effects is anxiety. I guess that goes for about 90% of psych drugs though. Clinical studies and my own experience point to ixel as having a good potential for treating anxiety. In my opinion, it worked more thoroughly and with lightning speed compared to ssris. I had some of the typical start-up effects of mild anxiety and disturbed sleep for about 2 days.
