Paroxetine

Uses

Paroxetine is used in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

How it Works

How Paroxetine works Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. It functions by increasing the levels of serotonin, a chemical messenger in the brain. This enhancement improves mood and alleviates physical symptoms of depression, as well as relieving symptoms of panic and obsessive disorders.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Paroxetine include dryness of the mouth, dizziness, tremors, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), delayed ejaculation, decreased libido, headache, weakness, diaphoresis, gastrointestinal intolerance, and drowsiness.

Expert Advice

  • It can take 2-3 weeks for Paroxetine to start working.
  • Do not stop treatment suddenly, as this may cause:
    • Upset stomach
    • Flu-like withdrawal symptoms
    • Sleep disturbances
  • If your doctor advises you to stop Paroxetine, you should gradually reduce the dose over 4 weeks.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Paroxetine, as it may lead to:
    • Excessive drowsiness
    • Increased calmness
  • The potential for addiction or dependence on Paroxetine is very low.

Frequently asked questions

Paroxetine is not recommended for children under 18 due to an increased risk of side effects, including suicidal thoughts and aggression. Discuss any concerns with your doctor if it has been prescribed for your child.
Paroxetine can negatively impact sexual function, leading to decreased sexual desire, difficulty reaching orgasm, and in men, issues with erections and ejaculation.

Yes, diabetics should be cautious with Paroxetine, as it may affect blood sugar levels, potentially requiring adjustments to insulin or antidiabetic medications. Consult your doctor and monitor your blood sugar regularly.
