Hi Lankry

5 days is a pretty short test period. The fact that it's working already is great. I used Paxil for 3 years at 5mg. This is a low dosage, but I'm sensitive to medications across the board. It's possible that a lower dose might work without all the side effects you're experiencing. Paxil does make many people sleepy; I always took it at bedtime. This effect should wear off some with time. I know the feeling when you find a med that gives relief, but causes other problems. Hang in there. Keep asking for help. Also, I highly recommend, as do most psychiatrists, some kind of therapy. best of luck.

> Just started Paxil 10 Mg. 5 days ago. It has relieved my anxiety and depression so far, however, all I want to do is lie in bed to alleviate the speedy feeling that occurs inside my body as soon as I start to move around. Also, any stimulation - phone ringing , kids talking etc... drives me crazy. Once I lie down and get rid of the speedy feeling I sleep - I feel like I just want to sleep 24 hours a day. I don't want to stop because the depression and anxiety I was experiencing in severity last week has dramatically decreased. Can someone please tell me if these side effects will subside over the next few weeks.

> Much appreciated
