Paxil Tremors?

I have been taking paxil for about a month.   The first couple days I first started taking it I had a panic attack and then a few hours later a felt very good.  Then eventually my moods were  just more calm, relaxed and stable.  This past week I have been experiencing some bad symptoms.  I have been having night terrors, I twitch and have tremors in the day time, I feel extreme fatigue, anxiety, muscle weakness and stiff. I have this weird sensation throughout my body.   Is this normal for antidepressants?   I also drink kratom daily.

SSRI's can cause temporary movement disorders such as akathesia. Those can be treated with a side effect pill. Speak to your psychiatrist about this.

I have been on Paxil for 2 years. I remember the first month or so- I had some ill side effects. I stuck it out and now I have very few side effects. I hope you are able to work something out with this.
