Will paxil (paroxetine) always make me feel like this cuz right now i'm so sleepy i can't even function, and how long does it linger in the system i?

Adjustment symptom: Your sleepiness may be an adjustment side effect to paxil, (paroxetine) and it may disappear in time. You may wish to take the medication at night instead of morning, and use this side effect to your advantage. Paxil (paroxetine) has a short "half life;" this means it's out of your system pretty quickly, i.e., in days. Call your doctor if simply holding steady doesn't seem to be a reasonable option for you. Good luck.
