There are also non-narcotic anxiolytics that don't lower your inhibitions. That was the ultimate solution I found for myself.

Propranolol, I assume? Much safer than alcohol and very good at reducing social anxiety/stage fright in my experience.

I was actually thinking of buspar although [Edit: redacted confusion between metoprolol and propranolol].

Buspar seems interesting, but somehow SSRI is what doctors describe by default over here for any anxiety disorders.
