Dr. started me on Paxil CR 12.5. After a little over a month on it, I went back to her for follow up visit. I was past the side effects and starting to feel good. During our discussion it was discovered she had told me to double the dose after a week! Guess I forgot. Have been on double dose for a week and feel crappy again with the same side affects - particularly sleepiness and stomach issues. And my eyes feel like they have sand in them. I contacted her and she said give it time. Don't like feeling this way. Anyone else go through this? Thank you.

Hello Kiwicard. It is so hard to get used to a new antidepressant. I hope your symptoms ease soon and you find the medication starts to kick in. Every time I have been on an antidepressant it took me a while to get used to it. I wish you luck.
