How do I go about getting medication for social anxiety?

I don't even know where to begin to look. I work part-time, still live at home, don't have health insurance or a family doctor, but I desperately need medication for social anxiety. I get nervous just walking down the street, for example, or talking to a cashier. I've tried herbs from the grocery store like Valerian Root, they haven't helped.

How do I go about finding an inexpensive medication, or getting a doctor to write me a prescription for one?

Thank you.
