Threadjackers unite!

Ahem, sorry.
Personally, I would tie the orgasm changes to one (or both) of two things: Mirena IUD's have hormones. It is proven that hormones affect libido. Whether or not progesterone does, I don't know. But your doctor should.
Paxil affects libido too. It could be that the combination of the two is screwing with your system.

Since you want to keep the IUD and you don't necessarily want to keep the Paxil long-term, I would be doing whatever is necessary to wean myself off the Paxil. And hey, go ahead and be snippy - at least you're mad at someone other than yourself. (That being said, don't get mad at me; you're scrappy!)

PS - I don't think Sage was necessarily disapproving of your taking them; just noting that her opinion may be biased. :*:*:*:*
