First time I took Paxil, I took it in the morning at breakfast. My doc back then told me that Paxil was somewhat activating and that was the reason I should take it in the morning. Now, after some years I am back on Paxil again, and I noticed that the doc had written on the label to take it in evenings. I don't know why. I have always taken it in the mornings, and never experienced no problems. So I continue to take it in the morning with breakfast.
Isn't it supposed to last 24 hours anyway? I mean, you take it once a day to keep up the supply in your system. Maybe I'm wrong.
I've been breaking a 20mg tablet in half and taking it at night. It's only been a few days, but so far it's not annihilating me nearly as badly as it did the first time. I was taking 20mg in the morning for about a week before I quit because the side effects were worse than the disease. :lol
Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread or anything, but..
I'm going to stop taking Paxil. Its making me sleepy all the time.. I don't know how anyone can take Paxil and be productive!
Anyone think the fatigue will go away?? (Been taking it a little less than 3 weeks now.)
It never worked except for the side effects and those were consistent throughout the day so I dont believe that morning or night matters unless its making you tired like it did to me.
