Hello Mr. lybrate-user
Anxiety is related with the thought and there is no medicine which can change the thought. I suggest that you should do meditation daily and whenever you free in the day time also take deep breathing exercise minimum 5 minutes and follow the good life style.
Take care.

Paroxetine by itself is an ssri, kindly consult an experienced psychiatrist and it is wise not to meddle with the medications, as there is risk of serotonin syndrome and others. All the best.
