Starr,

Did they start you on a full dose?

I started Paxil at 1/2 dose for the first week and then tapered up to full dose

It take a while for your body to adjust to an SSRI.

What are they trying to treat with the Cipralex? just depression?

I take a max dose of Paxil to reduce my brain's tendency to get stuck on mundane repetitive thoughts. It helps lots but not completely.

The side-effects can be tough. I am used to them now.

I sweat like I am in the shower if I exert myself in the slightest.

Give it time to see if the benefits are worth the side-effects.

My best to you.
