A member asked:
I have been on paxil (paroxetine) for 5 days now. i keep experiencing fatigue & extreme restlessness in my legs. is this normal?

Not normal: While some individuals can experience restlessness, fatigue and "restless leg" with medications such as paxil, (paroxetine) this would not be normal. It sounds very uncomfortable and i would suggest calling the prescribing physician to address your concern.
