Should I be on anti-anxiety medication?

If you feel like anxiety, or social anxiety, is negatively influencing your life, you should go seek a professional opinion. If they think you need some treatment, the best ones usually use a combination of pills and other forms.

Forget medication, find a psychologist/therapist. If you go to a doctor/psychiatrist they'll either give you an SSRI, a benzo, or possibly an MAOI (though I've never been offered anything other than SSRIs myself).

It sounds like you've had a worse than normal reaction. That happens in a few people. The people I've know who have taken these (friends and family) have had their lives dramatically improved. I only worry when pills are the only form of treatment. It should be in tandem with other forms in order to really get to the underlying causes.
