Paxil works great for Depression, less so for Anxiety symptoms. I have been on Paxil (20 mg/day) for 25 years, since I was diagnosed with clinical depression at 38 years old. 10 mg is a fairly low dose, it usually takes 20 mg/day to treat Depression. I am not sure what the dosage is for Anxiety.
You should talk to your physician first, but there is no reason to 'fear' increasing the dose to 20 mg. The only thing about Paxil is it is somewhat difficult to get off that drug if you want to stop. You have to reduce the dosage in a phased manner or you might suffer some side-effects. The best way to reduce the dosage is under a physicians schedule and reduce it very gradually.
