I think that SSRI's generally could be called "mental crisis anesthetics". You might try slowly backing off the Paxil and find that at some point a *little* works Ok, and you won't feel so BLAH. I'm just taking 1/2mg of liquid Celexa every other day and although I get a little grouchy when I take it, it keeps me from being panicky. At some point though at a little higher dose than that things go from anxious "What If?" to apathetic "Whatever". They have done studies that show that 5mg Prozac actually works *better* after a couple of months than 20mg does (I think Ed posted that recently). Maybe you could get some liquid Paxil and draw down your dose and see what happens?
