If you have been feeling more energetic, having new ideas, feeling happy along with being fresh throughout the day despite less sleep, then you should immediately consult your psychiatrist as you may be going into what is called as hypomania.

Dear sir paroxetine 12.5 mg is just the starting dose of this medicine and usually it needs to be increased to be effective. Also, it may take upto 2 weeks for an anti depressant to start showing an effect. Paroxetine is a safe and widely used drug. Like any medicine, it too can have side effects, but those are usually mild and subside in a few days or weeks. Please discuss with your psychiatrist any concern that you may have and do not stop or alter the medication without consulting your psychiatrist.

It won't be harmful, but has to be taken with psychiatrist supervision, as it has lots of interactions. For sleep consult your psychiatrist, he/she will surely address the same.
