And another voice for therapy, but in conjunction with the Paxil...
Paxil was great for me, while it was working, but that's another story. Anyway, it was anxiolytic, and it brought my depression mostly to remission for longer than any other drug so far has worked for me.
And I also agree that the worry sounds a lot like it's got a strong OC component to it. Paxil can be helpful for OCD, and it's anxiolytic, and it's an antidepressant, and it might just want to be your friend.
I know you're concerned about withdrawal, but here's a secret: if it doesn't work for you, you won't be on it long enough to experience withdrawal. If it does work, and you decide to go off it when you've been on it for a long time? Well, as I posted to you above, some people have no real problems with that.
Good luck.
