Please talk to your doctor about this. It's a very legitimate complaint. I'm not a doc, but perhaps they can prescribe Wellbutrin along with the Paxil. Or perhaps they can lower the dose of Paxil.
Paxil sucks. Please talk to your doc about modifying your meds.....
There's hope. :-) Good luck with everything.
