Do not reduce the dose of Paroxetine on your own, as sudden changes may cause withdrawal symptoms or affect your treatment. Feeling very sleepy is a known side effect of this medicine. Inform your doctor about your symptoms, as they may suggest increasing the dose more slowly or taking it at a different time to help your body adapt safely.
