Psychiatrists usually prescribe Paxil for Social Anxiety
Cognitive behavioral therapy is highly effective. One could also use serotonin medicine such as sertraline. Augmentation may be temporarily used like clonazepam. This is a classic approach if it is medically appropriate for you.

Consult a Psychiatrist and answer your question, usually SSRIs
Though several types of medication are available, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often the first type of drug tried for persistent symptoms of social anxiety.
