Hi,
Paroxetine is a SSRI antidepressant. It takes around 2-3 weeks for these type of drugs to show effect in depression. Apart from medications, counselling also plays an important role in tackling the issue.
If your wife is experiencing the above symptoms beyond 4 weeks of treatment initiation, I would suggest alternative antidepressants like mirtazapine that can help in insomnia.
You can discuss the above information with your psychiatrist. Hope it helps. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic.
