PAXIL yawning and shiverring

a lower starting dose should help you get used to the paxil, ask the pharmacist
any valium type meds will also help reduce early paxil side effects

Paxil gave me bad side affects too, but I started on 25mg. The doctors nurse gave me some samples and didn't tell me to cut them in half. I was only supposed to be taking 12.5mg to start. You may want to ask your doctor about that.

Also, the sweating and yawning are normal with all SSRI's. I have both symptoms with Lexapro, and I'm only on 10mg. I also have insomnia too, but these symptoms are not supposed to last very long.

Good Luck,
Chantel

I was once on paxil and the constant yawning and trembling is what made me go off of it. I don't know if these symptoms go away in time or not.

Good luck

people tell me the symptoms go away, and they're not that bad really. I am a real "intensity freak". Wahtever that means - it's my own word. I love anything exciting, and these side effects are really interesting cause they excite me and kinds worry me, but they don't seem dangerous. Whatever, that's just me.

I am also splitting the twenties in half for another week, as per doctors orders.

My doctor had me starting on 20mg right away and then a few weeks later, I was put on 30mg. It took about a month for all the side effects to really go away and unfortunately, not enough people give Paxil a chance!! I would feel horrible and drowsy after taking it and I DID take it at night. I would just feel weird and sometimes like I was trembling. I even became constipated for awhile while on it.

However, I stuck through and it's seems like it's starting to do it's job. Unfortunately, it feels as though my body has gotten too used to it...I may ask my doctor for a higher dose!

I dont know about you...but when i took paxil..me doctore said to stay away from chocalate and cofee....even tea cause the caffene does the opposite of what paxil does and can make you more panicky...thanks

Hi, there!

I have been on Zoloft for three weeks and am experiencing the yawning as well. It's irritating! I also clench my jaw all the time now on this med. It's strange to yawn and clench my jaw.

The first night I took Zoloft, I was shivering, too and sweating. That has stopped.

All the best to you!

Joe I would not bless your trip on Paxil at all.............I say this as I am in my 7th month of benzo withdrawals...and it is HELL. I would really try to beat your ghost in the closet with yourself and GOD...not a pill that will take you down a road of 200 withdrawal symtoms worse than when you started. Go on the web and type Paxil and read all of the horror stories. God Bless, gary m
