I think it's a good idea not to expect yourself to be normal when you're switching/starting new meds. Though it is possible that Paxil may not be for you, it's probably too early to tell.
I'd say give yourself more time, and be gentle with yourself. If it's really not working for you then go back to the doctor.
When I started Paxil I felt as though I was hyped up on caffiene for about a month. It felt kind of like a body buzz. And it did interfere with my ability to get up in the morning, but that changed when I stopped taking it in the morning. I take it at suppertime now and feel pretty normal in the AM.
