It's not unusal to feel sleepy or fuzzy when on Paxil, but it should go away. It really, really helped me to take the long-release tablets and to take them before bedtime. That way I slept through the drowsiest part. Also, if you get dizzy, you can take non-drowsy dramamine, and that helps a lot.

I'm sure others will say this, but you don't feel the full effect of the drug until you've been on it a couple of weeks at least. Once you do, you might be surprised to feel kind of "blah" about things in general. That can be because you don't have fear as a motivator any more. It's kind of weird when you're not used to it.

Hang on, Sweetie!
