mines been 3 weeks on 5mg and i can barely keep awake feel sick put on half stone and zombie but good thing is that anxiety..social phobia..panik attacks gone but i wonder if they gone bcause the drug makes u into a zombie so u cant feel nothing anyway 

I know it's been a while since you posted but did you stick with paroxetine I've just started on 10mg 2 weeks now supposed to up them to 20mg tomorrow I feel lousy like you did how long did these side effects last for you thanks

I have been on 20mg of paroxetine for 8 and a half weeks. Sleep is better and I am able to get out and about also back at work.I take about an hour otr so to get going in the morning and get tired around 6-7 at night.I am still getting a dry mouth and some numbness in my head, flu like muscle aches but am soldering on.have read some say can take up to 12 weeks to kick in. I am way better than I was at the start.....jeezo how I made it this far is nothing short of a miricale.....those side effects are a nightmare. I am heading in the right direction and feeling better for good parts of the day. I have to work at of though,and reflecting back to where I was to where I am now helps me. My doc wants !e to increase to 30mg and I plan to do this slowly maybe 5mg every other day and see how that goes. Stick with it Sophie. It was hard for me and still is at times bit I am deco getting better.
