Has anyone else felt really, really queasy/nauseous/had an upset stomach when first starting Paxil? My psychiatrist said this is the most common side effect and it's completely normal and should go away in a few days. I started it yesterday and I felt fine until about 11 or so at night and I thought I was going to vomit. I didn't actually throw up but the feeling persisted for a few hours and made it hard for me to sleep, and then it came back this afternoon for a while.
I emailed my psychiatrist to make sure it was from the medication and I didn't have food poisoning or I was getting sick or anything. He said it's definitely from the Paxil and this side effect usually happens right away but doesn't last for more than a few days.
I also don't have much of an appetite at all right now, I've probably eaten the equivalent of a sandwich-sized amount of food today. Normally I eat whatever gets put in front of me.
Has anyone else been on this medication and experienced this gross side effect?
Thanks
