Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Xet Cr contains paroxetine and it is a very good antidepressant. You can take it at night. It causes very slight sedation that would decrease with time. Nothing to worry about it. Just wait for next one week or two. That sedative side effect with go. In case, it stays then you can try another antidepressant like escitalopram. Rest, you can consult your psychiatrist for management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
