Out of all the SSRIs, Paxil is pretty much known as the worst in terms of side effects such as you mention. Effexor is known for raising blood pressure, so I'm not sure why your doctor would try it with your history.
Meanwhile, you could try the other SSRIs. Lexapro is helpful for a lot of people, as is Zoloft -- really, all the SSRIs are helpful for someone, it's just a matter of figuring out which is most helpful for you. Since you have anxiety issues, I'd start by trying Celexa or Lexapro, but I've liked Zoloft best -- despite my own anxiety. It's individual, though.
Good luck.
