Unfortunately, no can tell if serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine is what a person needs. It might seem logical that desipramine (which works on norepinephrine) would be the ideal thing for you to try if Paxil (mostly serotonin) fails, but in clinical practice, another serotonergic drug has just as much chance of helping you after paxil fails.
You definitely haven't given paxil enough time to work. 6 weeks is what it would take to determine a true response or a failure....
