kriskraft-- i think paxil is the least agitating. lexapro, zoloft, and prozac, the others i have been on, are more activating. i have had to titrate up ridiculously slowly because of jitteriness and shakiness and restlessness. i wasn't impressed with paxil, but i was put on it because of anxiety and depression. i stayed on it for about four weeks and switched to effexor. if you're looking outside the SSRI spectrum, low dose effexor didn't seem to make me shaky. it's indicated for generalized anxiety and was pretty effective for this, though i didn't feel less depressed. paxil made me tired and has an anticholinergic effect, making drying out, backing up, etc. hope this helps.
