Not unusual: One of the more common side effects of Paxil (paroxetine) is a mild tremor. Usually this improves with time. But if it is severe or not improving it might be worth talking to your doctor about other options.

Not normal: You think that you have shaking from taking Paxil (paroxetine) - its not normal to have this. Contact your prescribing doctor who can help you with the next step.
