paxil will make you nauseated and headachy for the first week or so. after that, for me, it stopped doing that. it's not an instant on sort of thing-- you take a week to acclimatize, and then some amount of time after (a few weeks, possibly?) and then you start seeing the effects. my i am not a doctor and do not even play one on tv advice would be to get more provigil and to start taking the paxil also, so you can get through the acclimatization now rather than later. a few hundred dollars of provigil is way cheaper than six grand of cobra coverage.

this sounds like it's been a pretty awful year for you. it'll get better.
