>First, why would the Paxil become less efficacious over time?
This can sometimes be caused by depletion or marked reduction of the amount of neurotransmitter responsible for creating the drug's effect, or by the depletion of receptors available to which the drug or neurotransmitter can bind. This depletion is caused by the cells reducing the number of receptors in response to their saturation.
>Are there additional medications I could try that might restart Paxil's potency?
Why not just try another similar medication, such as Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, Viibryd, Lexapro, Celexa, Brintallix, etc.
>Second, would trying a different SSRI be a good idea?
It would be the best idea.
>Or have I probably built up a tolerance to all of them?
No, each SSRI is a unique molecule which your body hasn't responded to yet.
>Third, are there any other medications you think might help with this condition?
