> I have been insistent for a while that Paxil is making me tired. After 7-8 years on the stuff I think I am a pro.

> Not the case. My Pdoc hinted that the tiredness might be depression. "Could the tiredness be depression" No, I replied, I know what it feels like. NOT!

> I upped my Paxil to 60mg, for I was thinking about lowering it from 40mg. At 60mg I am not tired! The fatigue I had was depression! I am taking Paxil for Panic and depression, but I thought that the depression was a the minor of the illnesses, but based on the way I was feeling it is major enough to make me sleep.

> Sorry for the verbose message, but I wanted to express that we all need to consider that tiredness can be a symptom of depression and that fatigue is always not the result of too much medication. I thought I knew what depression felt like, but it has changed it's texture over the years.

>That's great that you feel better. I'm on 40mg of Paxil and it has pooped out a bit - I am thinking of going up to 60mg - but my doc says this is too high. Is your doc happy with this dosage?
Thanks
