Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, you are right.
Your symptoms are more suggestive of social anxiety.
And Inderal is drug of choice for this.
So in my opinion, you should definitely take Inderal before going to social function. And continue Ativan. It is good drug for anxiety control.
Also take counselling sessions with psychotherapist regarding social fear. This along with Inderal will definitely help you.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
I find this answer helpful
