Another Nap
Yet another nap for me this afternoon after I got home. I've just been so tired ever since I started taking the Paxil. I go back to the doctor next week to discuss how the medicine's working for me and I'm definitely going to mention how exhausted I feel. At least I haven't been feeling as nauseous these last few days.

I don't want to scare you, but I would be wary of Paxil.
My girlfriend had severe withdrawal issues when getting off of paxil (as her body had become accustomed[sp?] to it). To the point of almost committing suicide.
Sites like http://www.quitpaxil.org/ show some of the dangers and information about withdrawal symptoms.

Mike on the other hand has never found an anti-depressant combination that works for him.
Hugs and hopes that you're somewhere between Mike and I and the next drug you try will be the perfect fit.

of course, check with your doc before you do it, but its worth trying.
hope you feel better soon!
