Hey, kiddo, don't worry so much! There are tons of new drugs, and one or more of them will help you.
Just don't give up, and make sure you can work well with your doctor.
This time, though, check on the duration of your treatment. I've read studies which suggest that if you stop an AD within two years of good effect, it can increase the likelihood of a recurrence of the depression -- AND reduce the likelihood of the same drug working again.
That's OK, though, because Paxil has plenty of newer competitors, with fewer side effects.
Good luck to you.
