Prozac is a very powerful anti-depressant, and may be way more than you need if you’re just dealing with a social phobia. I have much the same problem too. I suffer from something called Asperger’s syndrome, which can cause many of the problems you describe.

I don’t know who prescribed Prozac for you, but you would do well to get a second opinion from another medical professional.
