A Man takes 10MG of Paxil (fluoxetine) daily. Many nights he wakes up thinking his phone has just rung, It hasn’t rung, of course but He swears it sounds exactly like a phone. Could this be a side effect of the Paxil? If not, what could it be? Any ideas ?
Sorry, It’s Prozac, not Paxil

I feel pretty good on Paxil CR. The only thing that bothers me is I have a very low libido. It really puts a huge negative impact on my relationship with my boyfriend. I Hate It. It’s awful. I want my sexual drive back. What should I do? Oh, and I have talked to my psychiatrist, she switched me to Lexapro, which made me feel very unhappy regarding depression and anxiety, so now she suggested skip taking the pill the night before you have sex. I notice very little. What do i do?

I am weaning on Lexapro and I have weaned off Paxil before, so I know what to expect and how to go slowly. But with Lexapro I am craving sweets so much, I just want to eat fruit and candy all day. Has anyone else experienced this or heard of it? Also, can it cause insomnia? I am going really slowly, tapering by just 2.5 mg every few weeks. Any other tips?

Well I have been prescribed 10mg of Paxil for one week and after that 20mg.. to work up to a stronger dose, for anxiety disorder. My doctor had told me that I was probably going to want to take the dose in the morning to avoid insomnia… since I already have trouble sleeping, well the pharmacist told me to take them at night because they will cause drowsiness, (is also says the same thing on the bottle) I looked up some information on Paxil and it kept saying typically and preferably taken in the morning. I called the Pharmacy back and they said you will just have to go by trial and error because it affects people differently. I took a pill last night at 7pm and I am not sure if it was the pill or not but I felt sorta wide awake but I was still able to fall asleep. so should I take one this morning to see how that goes…. or is that too soon together. I have an 8 month old son, and I would hate to feel too drowsy to take care of him. Any Advice would be greatly appreciated.♥
