LaurenDI woke up with Anxiety and shaky legs. It kind of jolted me out of sleep. It seemed to subside after an hour but I couldn't sleep.
Is this normal? Can Paxil trigger more anxiety during the initial 2 - 4 weeks?
Hi there, I just started Paxil 10mg today. I was feeling fine, but suddenly woke up at 4am?

Hello LaurenD. Yes it is normal. What you are going through eases up once you've been on the Paxil a bit longer. The longer on the drug, the less the side effects linger. Some do stay with you. (but are less frequent and severe) It varies from one person to another. Regards, pledge
