I am willing to take meds for this. Paxil and Wellbutrin did not help.

Yes, I experience this due to my social phobia. Just the all round frustration of coping with a high level of discomfort in public. The only thing that helps is to constantly [and I do mean constantly] shift my thoughts to a place of letting go. Gets me home in one piece, but it's not a solution.
Lately I've been thinking of asking my doctor to prescribe me something strong.

I know. In other words the therapist can't help so all he/she can tell you is to just accept it. Great. We're back at square one.
