I know how you feel. Since Paxil didn't work for me the second time I tried it (after being off of it for 1.5 to 2 years), I have been put on Prozac, Effexor XR, Celexa and now Anafranil (an old tricyclic AD). The Anafranil seems to be doing the trick, even at a low dose of 50 mg. I will probably go up to 75 mg soon for increased effectiveness. All this to say, try not to get discouraged. It sometimes takes a few trials before finding the right medication or combination of medications. However, if you have the same luck with Paxil that I did, then you should be feeling better soon. Keep your fingers crossed, and don't be shy to discuss any really bothersome side effects with your doctor.
Take care.
