All I can say is good luck with this. I suffer from terrible bouts of anxiety (not specifically social, just "whenever") but I absolutely hate the meds. It should be a last resort, if anything. My experience with anti-anxiety meds wasn't really *bad*, per se, but they all made me feel like I was floating (not in a good or interesting way). You feel disconnected all the time, and they can rewire the way your brain works. If you ever stop taking them, your brain does some crazy shit to you. The withdrawal is bizarre, you swing between moods like crazy while your neurological chemistry tries to put itself back the way it was before the medicine screwed with it. I do not recommend pills- but for some people, the benefits outweigh the side-effects.
