I just started on a drug called paroxetine 20mg (1 a day) 11 days ago, but I'm finding hard to stay asleep at nights all I seem to get is about 2 hours a night, I also seem to be having tummy ache and nausea, and sweating a lot still, are these all just side effects and will they go soon. and how long do you have to take them before you start to feel better??

Went back to my doctor yesterday and told him that I have not had much sleep and he has said to them at night before bed.

if any knows of how I can get a good night sleep love to hear from you, I've tried all the normal things like soft music etc etc but no joy and now i'm really knacked

Regards Nigel

Hey Nigel,

Have you tried taking it in the morning instead? I am on 10 mgs, and I know I get pretty hyper-active after I take it. I take mine in the morn, with some food. Then by 4:00 pm i'm pretty tired, ready for bed around 10-11ish. Try it out.

to nigel, it amy be best to drop the dose to 10mg for a while, until you get used to the paxil
