The sedative, antianxiety drugs aren't meant for long term use, as people can habituate to them, and some of them have serious risks. In the past few years, a lot of people with social phobia/anxiety disorders have done well on SSRIs. I know someone who has been able to deal better socially on Paxil. It hasn't eliminated her social anxiety, but has made it a lot less restrictive for her.
