Hi all,
I'm on day 6 right now, and before I quit drinking, I began taking Paxil CR a few months ago to treat several anxiety disorders and depression. Now that I'm clean, I've found that I'm completely exhausted. I slept 12 hours last night and still feel like I could sleep for 12 more. I don't know if my extreme tiredness is a result of me still detoxing, or if it's somehow related to my meds. I'm a little scared right now that something bad is going to happen to me health-wise. But I'm not about to quit taking my meds cold turkey, because that might kill me. Did anyone else have the problem of extreme tiredness like me? Is this something I should be worried about?
