Hello Doctor, I have been taking Paroxetine CR 12.5 mg at night for the past 3 months for anxiety and mild depression. Mentally, I am feeling much better. However, I am facing some issues: * Irregular bowel movements: frequent loose or semi-loose stools, sometimes normal. Urge to pass stool after eating. * Anal itching/discomfort: constant itching and irritation in the anal area. * Daytime drowsiness: difficulty waking up before 10–11 AM even after adequate sleep. * Weight gain over the past few weeks. I have attached a stool image for reference. My questions: 1. Are these side effects of Paroxetine? 2. Should I change dose/timing or switch medicine? 3. Can I take probiotics for gut health? 4. Do I need any tests? 5. How to manage drowsiness and weight gain? Please suggest treatment or lifestyle changes. Thank you.
