social anxiety

I actually used to have the same issues. I went on medication for it about 2 years ago and it made a huge difference. The thing for me was that after a few months (3-4) of taking medication, it was enough for me to get re-accustomed to going out without feeling freaked out and I was able to go off it without any recurring symptoms. I wasn't willing to stay on drugs as a permanent solution, so I figured on trying something different if that didn't work out but it turned out to be just what I needed to get everything back in line and I've not had any problems since.
