To your original question it is very brave of you to try it with all the other tools besides meds and I suggest a very slow taper. And I understand why you want off of them.
But my opinion is if it ain't broke don't fix it. If it is still working just add all the tools you can to it. I have been on them for twenty years and have not had any adverse effects other than the sexual side effects. I don't really fear going off of them if I have no other options other than the depression getting much worse without them. That's just me though.
If I were you I would be scared that if you needed to go back on it it wouldn't work again. I am not sure how common that is. I know it is very common for one to quit working. I guess it depends on how much benefit you think you are currently getting from Paxil.
