I also had the experience of not being able to cry at all, but it was on Prozac, not Paxil. The paxil caused bad muscle twitching.
As for creativity, there was a time when I felt my depresssion was the price for the gift of sensitivity/poeticism, but then the depression got to be way too powerful and devastating, that it killed the creativity anyway. Been struggling to get a handle on it all, so I don't really know if I will feel unable to access any creative part of myself when the treatment is effective enough. Feeling better, but still struggling, and don't feel very creative, just trying to manage. I'll let you know.
