Unfortunetly Paxil & other SSRI's side effects will "mellow out", but you will still get the usual (sweating, slight trembling, sudden anxiety, mild confusion,)

Use w/ alcohol differs from person to person; I am an alcoholic & have an extremely high "drug tolerance" (in other words it takes an elephant tranquilizer to put me down) If you're not sure what kind of effect it's going to have on you......take it slow & try to be aware of when things are changing (high anxiety but shrugging it off for more booze to calm down, is one) PLEASE take care, take it slow.................and of course, ALWAYS talk to your doctor about potential side effects FIRST!!

Be careful w/ SSRI's, they're not real safe in more way than one.......my 2 cents worth
