Isn't is amazing how differently each individual reacts to a given drug? Paxil did not wash out my emotions at all. You might consider adding a tricyclic like desipramine. It can improve both depression and anxiety if it hits the right target. I experienced a mild to moderate antidepressant effect from mixing Effexor with nortriptyline, another tricyclic. The two together did more for me than either one alone. Unfortunately, the improvement it offered me was inadequate, and I would not have been able to return to work. It did make grocery shopping a little easier, though.
