Violet,
I was in your shoes 3 months ago and felt as if I'd never be normal again. It was my second bout of depression and when I went back to taking paxil at 20mgs nothing happened... Then we increased it further to 30mg, nothing happened...then 40mg, very, very little happened. I was distraught! Why isn't this working again,I asked myself, I've been taking it for 6 weeks . I called my doctor all the time and asked him to increase it, change it, lock me up, whatever-just make the agony and anguish go away. He didn't discontinue me though, he kept me at 40mg, added 10mg of Buspar, and wouldn't ya know it-3 days later I was feeling like a human again.I don't know what to say aside from be persistent and take it day by day, because eventually the hell will be over.
