> It seems in the past few weeks that I have been taking Paxil CR that my work ethic / motivation/ ability to concentrate (whatever you want to call it) has drastically lessened. I am having a really tough time getting done what needs to get done.

>It depends. What were your symptoms like prior to going on paxil? Did your depression present like this? You could be too much or too little. Depression causes concentration problems and apathy. My hunch is your having a side effect from the paxil. Sounds like SSRI induced apathy, somnolence and confusion. Talk to you doctor about what your experiencing.
