I've been on Paxil for 11+ years. I'm 40 years old, divorced and raising 2 teenagers. I am seeing a terrific guy! I've seen doctors and therapists. They help to a certain extent, but I have no sex drive and lately no motivation and sleepliness (6 months). I live in a very remote area with few choices for a physician-whom I really don't care for-he's too busy to listen and I feel like he wants to get me in and out as soon as possible. I'm just wondering if I should get off the Paxil and try something different without causing me to have a major "crash" in between. I'm so tired of being tired. I want to feel energized when I wake up..Motivated and happy..Can anyone relate to what I'm dicussing? If so, how do you deal with it and what solutions can you offer? I want my kids and my boyfriend not to have to worry about me and to see me happy.
Thank you and have a safe and happy holiday season.
