How long have you been on the Paxil?  It takes 2-3 weeks and sometimes a month for the medication to work the right way and side effects in the beginning can produce adverse effects and do the opposite of what they are suppose to do. So you need to give it time.  However, not all drugs agree with people the same way.  If it has been awhile and you are still getting more anxiety than before, I suggest you talk to your doctor about the possibilty of changing the medication.
