Hello Taonuviel,
I suffered many years with social anxiety with panic attacks and it is really crappy I mean really crappy! I would drop college courses if I knew I had to present materials to the classroom. I would have major panic attacks when I had to get up in front of a room full people. In fact I would panic and obsess about event like get up in a front of room full people weeks before the actual event ocurred. My wedding day I had take a valium just so I wouldn't have a panic attack and bolt from the chapel! For me what finally helped me was when I started taking Celexa for my OCD. It was by accident that I realized that Celexa almost cured me of my social anxiety because I was taking it for my OCD and not the social anxiety but for me it helped with both. Also, in a pinch when the celexa isn't working on my social anxiety I will take an as needed pill like Klonopin which works EXTREMELY well. Behavior therapy helps too.
