Coleen, Paxil is used for depression primarily with other uses including OCD and Social phobia all of which have biochemical origins. It is often useful with PD patients but your doctor should be expalining why he is prescribing any medication. It can interact with eldepryl but that is unlikely. IT is unlikely to help tiredness unless it is paaart of a depression. Charlie Charles T.
