Have weird side effects from Paxil?

Does anyone have any wierd side effects from Paxil?

I have some weird ones!

Biting my nails horribly.

Pulling on my hair.

Weird yawning...funny feeling when i yawn and yawning a lot!

Remember almost all of my dreams.

Forget about or don't care about my bills/finances.

Weight gain.

Making green milk/lactation with no nursing or prenancy.

Then there are sexual side effects too.

Can't remember anymore at this time. lol!

Update:

I have seen my family Dr. about these. He is now referring me to a shrink to adjust the meds. I like Paxil because it does allieviate my anxiety. I was just wondering how many others had weird side effects and what were they and what kind of resolve did they get. Thanks.

    I didn't experience anything like that when I took Paxil, but obviously something is wrong. Either you're allergic to Paxil or the dosage needs to be adjusted big time.

    What you are experiencing is not normal and not OK. Contact your doctor asap.

    Best of luck.

    Less likely that all these symptoms are side effects of Paxil. I think you should try to change medicine. Try Zolofit in consultation with your doctor. Based on experience of my clients , Forgetfulness , Weight Gain , Sexual side effect can be attributed to Paxil.

    Side-effects with Paxil are very common. Ask your doctor about lexapro--much less side-effects.

    Good Luck!
