Thanks for writing and advocating for your health!

Paroxetine is an anti-depressant, and the side effects of this drug can include weight changes, mood changes, loss of libido and more. In other words, some of the symptoms you are having could be caused by the drug rather than relieved by it. You should also be aware that if you plan to stop taking the medication it is best to work with your doctor to develop a monitored withdrawal process as side effects can develop from stopping the drug suddenly. You can find more information here: http://www.drugs.com/cdi/paroxetine.html

There are many natural ways to treat depression and the symptoms that you've listed. You can find many helpful articles in our peri-menopause section: https://www.empowher.com/condition/perimenopause

Please let us know if we can help you further.
