The Paxil worked great for my anxiety and depression. I got off of it because of the sexual side effects of delayed ejaculation. I took it for three months. I eventally got on Effexor XR and that did not work as well for anxiety, eventually I got off of Effexor too due to anorgasmia, but I was taking Wellbutrin with it. I have no way of knowing if the side effects were due to the long term effect of being on ADs or the individual drug. You may know this already but the (Seretonin) 5HT2 receptor site has libido controlling effects. Seretonin increasing drugs all effect the libido, except perhaps for Remeron which I have not taken.
