Buspirone
"Buspar (or buspirone hydrochloride) works very well for me.  I have severe social anxiety and i never could talk to people.  It's still weird sometimes talking to people but i don't feel as nervous while I'm talking or when people i don't know start a conversation with me. I was taking xanax before but that wasn't working. Buspar works much better and is much safer in my opinion. I take 60 mgs a day,  15 mgs in the morning,  15mgs in the afternoon and 30mgs in the evening. It's very effective."
