Paxil is good at helping to manage anxiety and social inhibition/sensitivity, in addition to depression. If you wean yourself off of it, you may feel more energized and less apathetic, but you may also find your anxiety and sensitivity to slights and gossip return in a big way.

Have you given any thought to how you might handle these problems without the medication? Are you in therapy? Do you have a pdoc who could prescribe something different? If not, you may want to put some supports in place before stopping the Paxil entirely.
