Hello.Paroxetine, the drug that you take is suitable to improve depression, increase appetite and weight gain, but the dose you're taking is not enough.
The minimum effective dose is 20 mg per day.Taking that dose, will increase appetite and weight and will decrease your weakness, improving your physical and psychic status.Go to your doctor to evaluate the dose of the drug up.
I wish you good health.
