Depends on dose: It depends on the length of time that you have been on the Paxil (paroxetine) and what the dose is. If you are on the maximum dose for 12 weeks or longer, you may need a switch to a different medication.

Anxiety: Medication alone may not be enough to help you. Consult with a mental health professional who specializes in treating your difficulty. Also ask your doctor if her or she think Paxil (paroxetine) is the appropriate medication for you, be careful of anxiety meds as they can be addictive. Aerobic exercise on a regular basis reduces anxiety significantly. Best wishes.
