What is Paroxetine and what is it used for?
Paroxetine is an antidepressant in a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is commonly used to treat major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Paroxetine works by restoring the balance of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, to improve mood, sleep, and energy levels.
How to take Paroxetine Tablets:
Paroxetine tablets are typically taken once daily, usually in the morning, with or without food.
Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break it.
The dosage depends on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Your doctor may start you on a low dose and gradually increase it.
Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, and take the medication at the same time each day for the best effect.
Possible side effects of Paroxetine:
Paroxetine may cause some side effects, including:
Nausea
Drowsiness
Dizziness
Insomnia
Dry mouth
Sweating
Constipation
Loss of appetite
Sexual dysfunction
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor. Serious side effects are rare but may include vision changes, tremors, unusual bleeding or bruising, and seizures. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
Precautions and warnings for Paroxetine:
Before taking paroxetine, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, heart problems, glaucoma, seizures, or bipolar disorder. Paroxetine may interact with certain medications, including other antidepressants, NSAIDs, blood thinners, and migraine medications. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Paroxetine is not typically recommended for use during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, due to potential risks to the fetus. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor before taking paroxetine. This medication may also pass into breast milk, so breastfeeding mothers should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor.
Paroxetine is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Regular follow-ups with your doctor are recommended to monitor your progress and adjust the dose if necessary.
