See edit: I assume you have chronic open angle glaucoma which manifests as visual loss? Paxil has a rare adverse reaction in its side effect profile termed "closed angle" glaucoma which manifests as a painful red eye. If you have a history of closed angle glaucoma ask your physician before taking paxil (paroxetine).

See you doctor: In some patients with a certain eye anatomy, the class of anti-depressants that includes Paxil (paroxetine) can cause a sudden elevation in eye pressure. Your ophthlalmologist can easily assess if you are at risk.
