Call your doctor
A few comments:
Paxil is a fairly safe medication, and few people have significant side effects. Many people experience nausea and jitteriness for the first few days, which is why the dosage is often titrated up slowly. As others have pointed out, never quit taking a medication without discussing it with your MD. Titrating down may be needed with many meds.
Excedrin has a fair bit of caffiene in it. You may be experiencing the effects of this, or of the interaction between the two meds. Talk to your MD.
Sexual dysfunction is relatively common, more so in men over 30 or 40. Very little can be done to slow the sex drive of 20 year-olds. Sexual functioning bounces back after you get off the medication.
If your doc wrote the rx for Paxil due to panic, you may want to consider therapy. In the long run, this is the best treatment for anxiety.
If you are experiencing, or begin to experience, suicidal thoughts, contact your MD or mental health professional immediately. It is important to develop a safety plan.
