Paxil:(Paroxetine) – An antidepressant for treating depression.
Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that helps restore the levels of serotonin in the brain. It can be taken daily, but it’s not considered to have a “rebound” effect. Paxil is also available as an oral tablet, which is a liquid form of the medication. Paxil is a “rebound” antidepressant, meaning that it stays in your body for up to six hours after taking it. It may also be used to treat panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, or a type of social anxiety disorder called post-traumatic stress disorder.
Dosage:The dose of Paxil varies depending on the specific condition you’re treating. It’s best to take the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible, at a time that you’re comfortable with taking it. Do not stop taking Paxil suddenly, and speak to a doctor or pharmacist if you have any concerns or questions. Your doctor will be able to advise you on the correct dosage.
Common side effects of Paxil:Headaches, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, dry mouth, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction, which can be mild in some people.

Oral drowsiness and sleep disturbances should be considered in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Use with caution in panic disorder and social anxiety disorder. In primary dysmenorrhea and premenstrual dysphoric disorder, therapy is recommended with oral doses of paroxetine as an initial treatment. Paroxetine has been shown to be effective in improving sleep quality in these disorders, and the drug should be taken on an as-needed basis at approximately the same time each day. It is recommended that paroxetine be taken at approximately the same time every day. It is recommended that oral doses of paroxetine be taken on an as-needed basis, with a glass of water added at approximately 4 hours before sexual activity (optimal dosage is recommended for men over 18 years of age).
Post-traumatic stress disorder and PTSD have been used in the treatment of men with depression to improve sleep and energy levels. In primary dysmenorrhea, paroxetine is prescribed to increase sexual desire and enhance sexual satisfaction in men who have post-traumatic stress syndrome. In social anxiety disorder, paroxetine is prescribed to increase anxiety symptoms and to improve depressive symptoms.
Dosage is adjusted on the basis of body weight and sexual activity to minimize the risk of toxicity. The most common side effects include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea. Serious side effects have been reported with the use of paroxetine, including allergic reactions, and require immediate medical attention. Patients should be monitored for signs of cardiac events or rapid cardiac incidents in patients taking paroxetine. Patients should be advised to avoid sexual activity for the duration of treatment as directed by their healthcare provider.
The recommended dosage of paroxetine for the treatment of major depressive disorder has not been determined, and the dosage and administration schedule must be followed to the letter. The dosage and administration schedule of paroxetine should be listed in the product information on the label or administered as a single dose or divided dose.
Adults with moderate to severe major depressive disorder may be treated with paroxetine along with a tricyclic antidepressant such as citalopram or escitalopram.

The safety of paroxetine in patients with hepatic and cardiovascular conditions was uncertain. Patients with hepatic disease should not use paroxetine, and patients with cardiovascular or hepatic impairment should not use paroxetine.
The use of paroxetine in the treatment of serotonin syndrome has not been formally studied in this population.
