    How soon after taking an SSRI?

    can you start experiencing symptoms? I started Paxil today and felt okay and an hour or two passed and now I'm extremely tired, have an upset stomach, and a headache ): just curious if this could be related.
    Thanks!

    Takes 4 weeks to start working,
    I use to take paxil, took it for 8 yrs and the only symptoms I got when starting was being a little tired and shaky for a week. The symptoms didnt start until after a few days of use.

    Give it time. the symptoms will go within the 4 weeks

    When I was put on Citlrepram (cant remember how its spelt) I started them on the monday & had horrendous side affects on the wednesday, in the middle of the night. But I think it varies with people, like the symptoms do x
