I know it's the illness making the fear worse, but what are some coping techniques I can do to make myself more relaxed with dealing with people? I do not want to change jobs as right now I'm making pretty decent and can afford the medical stuff I need to treat the schizo.

Bump.
Might be wise to include I am a high functioning schizo. I am able to rationalize things and understand it's in my head.

Why don't you ask your doctor? He is qualified to deal with such things and 4chan users are not.

I'm just hoping to find people who are dealing with something similar, instead of hearing a "The medication will make you feel better" when it doesn't.
Just be yourself
