I started taking paxil cr (12.5mg), a week ago today. I dont feel nearly as tired as I did the month on was on xanax xr, in fact, I have a hard time sleeping. I toss and turn a lot throughout the night, and whatever time I wake up in the morning, I really cant go back to sleep. Its gotten a little better, since I started taking my pill in the morning rather than around lunch time or so.
I havent had much of an appetite either. I can eat during the day (breakfast and lunch), but the past few days around dinner time, I just look at food and feel sick to my stomach. I dont feel like eating anything. I know decrease in appetite is a side effect too. Could it be that paxil cr is a slow release pill, so by that time the pill has taken full effect?
I know I need to give this more time being its only been a week. Also, I was curious as to whether or not anyone had abdominal pains or weird feelings in the abdomen/stomach? Ive had pains since march, and ive gone to numerous drs. Who havent found much, and im going to get a ct scan next week. I saw a gastroenterologist (sp), yest. For the first time whose sending me to get the test done, and he said it might be imfalmation. If it is that, could the paxil be inflamming it and causing me more pain? My whole abdominal area feels tight and I have these weird feelings in it and pain. Has anyone gotten more gas on this?
In general, what side effects if any, has everyone had on paxil cr?
