Paxil wear off?

The first three or four days I took Paxil I felt a huge difference in my mood and anxiety. I didn't stress eat and I slept so well. Now I'm in the 3rd week and I'm finding myself eating mindlessly again and last night I had too much nervous energy.

What gives? I thought this stuff really started working AFTER the third week.

I was told it would take a good three months before it really got regulated in my system.
