Hi Erik,
You might want to think about taking 10 mgs of Paxil for 2 weeks before increasing to 20 mgs. That will give your body more time to adjust to the medication and you won't experience as many side effects when you start taking 20 mgs.
SSRI's can be very difficult to tolerate when you first start taking them. But the good news is that everything you mentioned goes away in a few weeks. Waiting it out is a little unpleasant, but it's worth it!
