In my estimation, Paxil is the worst SSRI for producing a phenomenon called "drug-induced drug refractoriness". It means that while you are taking the drug for the first time, things are happening in the body that will set up for future failures to restart the medication and respond to it. The next time you find something that works well, you should probably remain on it indefinitely.
Paxil is actually the SSRI that bind tightest to the target site (transporter), even though it affects other systems. However, Lexapro is the drug that is the purest for inhibiting the transporter. Lexapro might make sense as being your next move. If Lexapro does not help, it might be time to go for a SNRI drug like Effexor, Pristiq, or Cymbalta.
Your story, unfortunately, is a common one with Paxil.
