Hi K nine and welcome. :)
I am sorry that you are struggling with the anxiety effect of brain fog. I have, and still do at times still deal with this...depending on my stress levels...so I understand where you are coming from.
As far as your medication goes...have you noted any improvement with the Paxil? When was your last med evaluation? Perhaps an increase could be discussed with your doctor?
Concerning the Clonazepam, are you taking it everyday on schedule...or just as needed for acute anxiety and panic episodes? A benzo taken PRN (as needed only) is usually the best plan, unless otherwise indicated by your doctor.
How about therapy and/or self help? Have you considered or explored this valuable treatment option? If not, I can't recommend doing so enough! Talking with your doctor regarding a referral to a therapist...
...as well as checking out the Resources at the top of the main forum page here for coping skills would be a GREAT step for anxiety management! ! :)
Keep posting with us as well. We understand, care and support is key!
Talk soon,
