Paxil?

[Chloe.]

Does anyone take Paxil? I've been taking it for about a month now and it makes me extremely tired. I've missed so much school because I've fallen asleep in class. I told my psych and she said that it'll go away, but it hasn't. Has anyone else experienced this?

It made me sleep so much. I was constantly tired. And then it made my depression worse and I tried to kill myself so they took me off of it and I went into hospital! If you feel at all worse or get thoughts of harming yourself it's important you see a doctor straight away.

It made me really tired too, and turned me into a bit of an alcoholic and crazier person (ha! imagine that :) ). Just remember to talk to your dr. and not to quit it cold turkey. Also, for some people the side effects go away eventually. Take care, I hope you find meds that work for you!

I'm on it, and while it has changed my sleeping patterns (hehe, I'm no longer nocturnal and actually wake up before 11am at the weekends now), the extra tiredness that I got when I started it has gone. It took about 5/6 weeks for the tiredness to settle down; now I 'm far more alert than I ever was without being on it.
