Brief Answer:
The dose can be increased
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You are taking 12.5 mg Paroxetine for 40 days and symptoms are still there. It’s not possible to have side effects for such long period. The sweating in meeting you are having is part of anxiety and not due to drug.
You should talk with your doctor and the dose of the drug should be increased. The dose can be increased to 25 mg and this should help to control your anxiety.
St Johns Wort or Tranquelene can be taken but avoid stopping the drug for these natural supplements.
Please let me know if you need more assistance.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
The dose is not sufficient
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
If the symptoms worsened after increasing the dose then this could be due to drug only. In most cases side effects on increasing the dose or starting the dose go in around a week. You can try to increase the dose once again. If the symptoms recur again then you can think of stopping the drug and then any other drug can be tried.
This doesn’t mean that the drug is not working. The dose of 12.5 mg is just not working for you.
