Will the drowsiness associated with the use of antidepressants pass?

One of the side effects of paroxetine contained in Paroxinor is somnolence. For this reason, doctors usually recommend using the drug in the evening. As observations show, the feeling of drowsiness during the use of paroxetine is most often observed at the beginning of treatment and during the period of increasing the dose of the drug. Usually, within 2-4 weeks, the body adapts to the changes occurring in the central nervous system under the influence of the drug and the severity of these symptoms decreases or drowsiness stops. If the feeling of drowsiness persists 4 weeks after the dose change, this should be consulted with your doctor, as this may indicate that the treatment needs to be modified.

In general, the improvement becomes noticeable after 2-4 weeks from the start of treatment, but this is a very individual matter. I enclose a detailed description of the preparation you are asking about: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/59714/paroxinor-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka Do not give up treatment yourself. Sometimes, to achieve the expected result, it is only necessary to modify the therapy. Any modifications in therapy, including discontinuation of the drug, should be introduced after consultation with the attending physician acquainted in detail with your health condition: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jak-i-kiedy-mozna-odstawic-leki Pharmacotherapy only supports the treatment of difficulties in the area of psychological functioning, most often affecting the symptoms. The right treatment is psychotherapy, which deals with the causes and is designed to lead the patient to healthy functioning, also without the use of drugs. If you have not undertaken (apart from taking medication) psychotherapy, I encourage you to make an appointment for a consultation with an appropriate specialist. The gdziepolek.pl service also allows you to get telecommutation with a psychologist: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-psychologiem I enclose links to information that may be helpful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/59714/paroxinor-tabletki-powlekane/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/tematy/leki-na-depresje https://www.gdziepolek.pl/tematy/depresja
