I’m going to ask my psychiatrist if Paxil higher dose recently could be cause for the depression. I’m really not used to depression. Now I’m also thinking since I’m bipolar I will end up spiraling up from down too… And the anxiety is still with me. God you guys I am tired.

Depression comes with fatigue. Much energy should return in eight to ten weeks from starting an antidepressant. Before Prozac in the late eighties it would take months; so I bid you: please be patient . I speak from experience. You can do this.

Thank you from my heart to yours

Hi Starrlight,

Paxil was the first antidepressant I was put on. It made me so tired I couldn't stay awake. My mom didn't understand how tired it made me until she was put on it, then she understood. I would talk to your doctor if you suspect that the Paxil could be making you tired. I wasn't on it long enough to notice how to effected my depression.
