SSRI side-effect? (Paroxetine)

I noticed excessive yawning and sick weakness after a yawn. Do any of you experienced such side-effect? Is it possible that my excessive yawning is caused by Paroxetine?

Hi. Yes, I've been really yawny when I've started antidepressants. How long have you been on them for?

Hi. I've been on Rexetin (Paroxetine compound, like Paxil):
• 10 days on 5 mg
• 10 days on 10 mg
• 6 days on 20 mg

My yawning is already decreasing actually. I'm noticing increase in my mood. Today I woke up at 6 AM, before my alarm, with strangely high mood. At the university I was just indifferently walking in the hallway and had a slight desire to smile. I was just happy, not extremely excited, I just wasn't depressed as always. I still have some trouble with anxiety near other people or in social groups, It's not a phobia, I just feel a little dizzy and anxious in public places, and it's uncomfortable.

Things like paraxotine can trigger hypomania for me, being bipolar. Celexa/citalopram is much gentler and is good with anxiety. At least it is for me. I don't get on with drugs from the fluoxitine, paroxitine family.

Still, it's early days with your meds. If the anxiety get worse, it might be a good idea talking to your pdoc about alternatives.

I started Citalopram and I don't have this yawning but I feel a kind of restlessness and there are sudden rushes of nausea, I feel like I have to vomit right away and only stays for some seconds.

I'm on Lexapro right now. Is it common to have a slight tired feeling for a couple of days of starting meds until your body is used to it?

It's really common to have fatigue , nausea and to feel a bit weird when you first start these drugs.

Does anyone else have nose bleeding as a side effect?

I don't. I think it's something with your cerebral pressure, you should visit a doctor.
