Akathisia with Zoloft (sertraline) is not unusual. This might be because it is an antagonist of sigma-1 receptors; something unique among the SSRIs. Luvox (fluvoxamine) does just the opposite. Still, you might not be experiencing akathisia per se. In akathisia, there are no focal sensations in the limbs. Also, akathisia presents all day long, not just at bedtime.
Have you tried Luvox?
Just curious:
Did Paxil stop working for you while you were still taking it - "poop-out"? Alternatively, did you stop taking Paxil while you were in remission, only to have it fail to work again once you restarted it upon relapse?
I wish I could have been of more help. Your experience might very well be behavioral and psychosomatic. CBT could be your answer.
