Depression: I am not sure what you mean by numb - perhaps less emotional and not reacting to outside stimuli. This may be a side effect of the medications. Never abruptly stop your meds. Antidepressants can take up to a month to have a full effect, but may need a dosage adjustment. If you have been on Paxil (paroxetine) for a few weeks, then followup with your doctor and report your symptoms.
