Plus, no offense, but if you've abused drugs in the past, there's more potential for abuse with a benzo.

I don't mean to say that you _are_ a drug abuser. I guess I associate -- rightly or wrongly -- people who've used MDMA with a certain group of people I know who'll try anything. (Be it snorting someone's ritalin, trying an anti-psychotic out of curiosity, using crystal meth this weekend,lsd the next, etc etc.) I shouldn't have made you feel shoved into the same group.
Anyways, Luvox gave me a 'coming-down' feeling like that, like I felt 'up' in the morning when I took it and totally 'down' and sad when it wore off. I didn't like that at all; I need something that doesn't make me feel drugged.
It sounds like Paxil also makes you feel uncomfortably drugged. I would boot it and try either a different SSRI (they don't all feel the same or work the same), or follow your intuition about acupuncture or benzos.
