The use of medication should be (in my opinion) a last resort, many of the Mood Altering drugs can permanently rewire the brain, pretty much changing who you are, which is why they work. Social anxiety is a product of the society you live in, and has become an issue primarily because of perception of what "Normal" is, which is totally arbitrary in the first place. I have personal experience with this so called "illness" and do not see it as something that is wrong with someone, but rather a part of the personality. It is not something that needs to affect your life negatively, and is instead something you allow.
I am of the opinion that much of the psycology we ignore in ourselves can be used to create stronger, and more adept individuals if we decide to use our minds to change what so called....weaknesses we have. Personally, I would develop a plan to open yourself to others, and accept the fear you have as a means to an end, embrace the percieved failings of yourself and toss the baggage out the window.
What do you have to lose by just....playing the game of life.
