Actually I'm with Judy on this one. I suffer from exactly the same thing - Social Anxiety or phobia.
BZD's like ativan, xanax or klonopin are the thing that work best for this because they have an immediate effect at the right dose (they're usually UNDERutilised rather than OVERutilised by the patient). Here's a link talking about it:

Hope this helps. My job requires me to deal with performance anxiety on a daily basis. One of these should work for you. Rarely do they NOT work and one BZD will work better than others - they are not all the same in their effectiveness on anxiety of all types.
