Listen to your doc. I am getting tired again. I am actually going to try wean off Paxil tomorrow with Celexa. I can't keep sleeping through life. I might have to live with some more fear, but I can't afford to keep sleeping.

I am taking Paxil for Panic and depression, but I thought that the depression was a the minor of the illnesses, but based on the way I was feeling it is major enough to make me sleep.

> > Sorry for the verbose message, but I wanted to express that we all need to consider that tiredness can be a symptom of depression and that fatigue is always not the result of too much medication. I thought I knew what depression felt like, but it has changed it's texture over the years.
