I am taking paxil (paroxetine) 20 mg , before bed. at night i experience tremors sometimes its my leg a couple times my whole body shook. should i be worried?

No, but do tell Dr.: This is not a good side effect - tell your provider and ask for alternatives. Different approaches may have less serious side effects and adding talk therapy might be a good idea too. Your neurological seizure condition may complicate things, so be patient and cautious. I hope you find a better choice.
