Morning: First: are you new to paxil, (paroxetine) or on a recently-raised dose? If so, this may be a side effect. It should abate, unless the dose is high for you. (this may be checked with a blood level). Paxil (paroxetine) can produce quirky effects in some people. Second: in the am before awakening, we tend to have "deep" dreams. These may point to the core of your anxiety. Speak with your therapist!

Check out Paxil (paroxetine): Paxil (paroxetine) has been known to do this because it is the shortest acting SSRI-has a short half-life which can lead to dips in the blood level within a 24-hour period that are not tolerated by some individuals. Manifestations would be anxiety, sweaty hands, headache and the like. Discuss with your doctor possibility & about a different medication that would target your symptoms the same eg another SSRI.
