Okay, I'm totally going to disagree with the above post. Avoid Paxil. I took it about 10 hrs ago when it was the in thing for anxiety. It was okay, but I didn't have complete success on it for anxiety and when my depression got worse, it was insufficient. Withdrawal from Paxil is awful, especially if not done slowly and carefully under the supervision of a pdoc. However, the number one reason I would avoid it is that my current pdoc (who is widely regarded to be the best in my large city) states that he never uses it anymore because of the withdrawal issue and the fact that zoloft works just as well. For what it is worth.
However, to best answer your question, it would be helpful to post your med history and what has and hasn't worked in the past.
Best,
EE
