Low energy when taking paxil
by Jeff055, Jul 01, 2007 12:00AM
Hi, I've been taking Paxil for over one year and for me, it's a wonder drug. I feel "well" and like my old self again. However, the biggest and most frustrating side-effect is "low energy" and I feel lazy. Does anyone know of a way to boost your energy levels? (I know about exercise) are there any supplements that help?
Thanks,
Jeff

You should ask your doctor about lowering the dose. There should be a dose that works without innervating you.
Let me know how it works for you.
