How long does it take for the exhaustion to subside, when reducing paxil (paroxetine) 40mg to 20mg? thanks!

Take your time: It can take a few weeks to adjust to medication changes. Be sure to do other self care in the meantime. Adequate sleep, moderate exercise and a healthy diet will help your energy level and depression symptoms as well.

It depends: There are a number of factors that determine how long this will take, including how long you have been on the med, your physical cnditioon, etc. But I would be surprised if you didn't see some improvement in 2-4 weeks.
