Jon's reply was sensible & accurate. It's not possible to guess whether you'll need to be on it long-term, or for just a short while. As long as you feel better from it, that's what matters. If your problems developed after the accident, it's quite likely that as you adjust to the situation & the medication, you won't need it in a year from now.
With most SSRIs (like Paxil), it'll take from 2-3 weeks before you notice an improvement. Full benefits are generally reached in 2-3 months time. I'm not familiar with Paxil - controlled release. It does sound like it may solve the problem with its short half-life. Post back later to let us know how things are going &, of course, if you have any other questions. Good luck!
