Schedule a follow-up with your psychiatrist and explain clearly that you
You feel sleepy and weak on paroxetine.
You’d like to know about alternatives with less sedation.
If your psychiatrist isn’t explaining things well, you can seek a second opinion — that’s completely your right.
Never stop or switch antidepressants suddenly; it can worsen symptoms or cause withdrawal.

The following two things are not advisable:
1. Do not google your symptoms or disease and seek suggestions from AI
2. Trust your doctor. Review with your doctor for the weakness. Your doc may change the medicine. All medicines may not act in a similar way with all the patients. Hence review after a short period of usage is mandatory.
Next Steps
please review with the psychiatrist
