I don't have an answer for you -- Paxil did the same thing to me, though, in terms of brain fog...
Out of the meds you listed, I'd suggest Provigil first. It's a fairly benign little drug, in my experience, it certainly boosted my mood for a long time -- even when it was the only thing I was taking -- and the only side effect I got from it was short lived. (I got headaches, but they weren't bad headaches -- just kinda like my skull was a bit tight. They weren't even enough to warrant taking an aspirin. And they went away quickly.) It's also likely to work right away, so you'd know in about a week if it was going to be a winner for you.
The others I don't know anything much about, so I can't comment.
Here's a question, though: Paxil is helping you, but causing this problem. Have you tried other SSRIs? Maybe one of them would help, but not cause this? (And, of course, I know it's likely you HAVE tried other SSRIs. Just thought I'd suggest what seemed obvious, just in case...)
Good luck to you, and do let us all know what you decide to do, and what the results are, 'K?
