Hi Scott
Thanks for the reply.
Paxil made me a zombie- really, really sleepy for the whole 2 years i was on it. My pdoc in London didn't realize sleepiness was a side effect so he sent me to a sleep lab.
Idiopathic hypersomnia was the best they could say (because though they initially suspected narcolepsy, I don't have ANY other symptoms of any sleep disorder). When I came off the Paxil, i realized it was that which was making me like a narcoleptic.

It definitely got rid of my anxiety and OCD (like all SSRI/SNRIs do) but I sat in bed, stared at the walls and slept for the whole time I was on it. So I don't think it lifted my depression at all.

Love
D
