Hey Notsoprosocial,
Most individual with severe social phobia need a "coctail" of meds for moderate relief. For me (and many individuals and expert pdoc also state), the best combination is nardil 60 + klonopin .5 and intermitent coffee throughout the day. Your core should be an antidepressant ... the best being MAOI or less potent an SSRIs. Add on a benzo to the ad. You can augment that with Neurontin, stimulant, lamictal, caffeine, etc. (0ffically an MAOI and other meds may cause hypertensive crisis or serotonin syndrome ... but many experts will still use them).
Hope this helps
