57 is Normal...sorta.
60-100 for adults.
40-60 for very well conditioned athletes.
If they are using it for anxiety, its going to be a downer, so yes, thats normal.
2 suggestions-call a Pharmacist. Sometimes they can help, sometimes not.
other, call your docs nurse. She will know!!
Good Luck

i dont think thats normal for paxil but 57 is extremely low. normal is 60-100 below that should get checked. see a doc and fast
