I take Paxil (called seroxat here in UK) and it has changed my life. I used to be so incapacitated with anxiety and depression before, now I can do so much more. I did gain weight after going on it which was a blessing as I was so skinny, but I think this had more to do with the seroxat stopping the horrible stomach churning I had with anxiety and stopping the anxiety nausea I had so much than anything else.
Paxil can lower your sex drive, but the side-effect that bugs me the most is insomnia. Having said that, I have never been the best sleeper, so the meds are probably just enhacing something that's already there, so if you don't have trouble sleeping you'll probably not be effected in this way.
You definitely get more chatty and a little bit louder on Paxil. I used to be really quiet and shy, now I am more outgoing and extrovert.
Definitely give Paxil a go asap, I'm sure it will help and you've been given a very small dose. I've tried other anti-depressants that leave you feeling spaced out with weird feelings like the ones you described with Wellbutrin but Paxil doesn't make you feel like that at all.
Let us know how you get on!
