I'm glad I found this site.  I've had SA for about a decade now and it has dramatically altered my life.  After trying a lot of meds and stuff(I never gave therapy a disciplined shot though), I finally found something that allows me to function like most people.  Xanax XR.  I'm 29 now and back in college working on a degree.  Before I discovered Xanax XR, I had to be doped up on Klonopin to do anything around people and what I could do and for how long was limited.  Being around anything with a good deal of people and/or involved some kind of performance for an extended period of time was out of the question.   Luckily I am able to make a living out of my home.  I am going back to school full time now thanks to Xanax XR.  I still have some anxiety, but it is a lot better now on Xanax XR.  I don't look forward to the required Speech class.  I don't know what I'm going to do to get past that. I've been pretty much a recluse because of this affliction and it really sucks.   Anyway, I hope all of you find something that helps.  Maybe try Xanax XR if you haven't.  If I could go back in time I would have tried to work harder at therapy instead of just avoiding people.  Good Luck.
