OK. Thanks for this info. I looked up both medicines on drugs.com (it's a wonderful site where you get detailed lists of instructions, side effects and so on.) Here are the primary side effects of Lisinoprol:

feeling light-headed, fainting;
urinating more or less than usual, or not at all;
fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms;
tired feeling, muscle weakness, and pounding or uneven heartbeats;
chest pain; or
swelling, rapid weight gain.

It seems you have at least two of those, the tired feeling and the weight gain. Fatigue is not listed in the primary side effects of Paxil, but drowsiness is listed among the "less serious" side effects:

feeling nervous;
drowsiness, dizziness;
sleep problems (insomnia);
mild nausea, constipation;
weight changes;
decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm; or
dry mouth, yawning, or ringing in your ears.

So that's one possible thing to discuss with your doctor -- could these two meds be ganging up on you in regards to this side effect? (Since there are other blood pressure meds and anxiety meds, perhaps one of yours could be changed?)
