Paxil (paroxetine) is an antidepressant medication that is used to treat major depressive disorder and panic disorder. It belongs to the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Paxil works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, which helps to improve mood and reduce feelings of anxiety. It has a very high success rate in clinical trials, which has led to the development of several other SSRIs. Paxil is available as a generic drug and is often preferred by people who do not use a branded version of the medication.
It works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, which helps to improve mood and reduce feelings of anxiety.
The recommended dose of Paxil (paroxetine) is one tablet taken with water approximately one hour before anticipated activity. The recommended dose of Paxil (paroxetine) is one tablet taken with food approximately one hour before anticipated activity. However, it is important to avoid taking Paxil (paroxetine) more than once during the day.

The most common side effects of Paxil (paroxetine) are nausea, dry mouth, dizziness, sweating, and sexual dysfunction. More serious side effects such as suicidal thoughts, difficulty concentrating, or changes in mood or behavior may occur. If you experience any severe side effects such as suicidal thoughts, make anas-neededconsultation with your doctor.

Health care providers prescribe Paxil to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia, and other mental health conditions like anxiety disorders, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Depression, also known as major depressive disorder or clinical depression, is a mood disorder that negatively affects how you think, behave, and feel. Untreated depression can lead to a range of emotional and physical issues. The symptoms of depression may vary from person to person. They may appear mild in some, while they can be debilitating in others.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic condition that causes unwanted and uncontrollable thoughts or fears (obsessions). These obsessive thoughts lead individuals to engage in repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Obsessions and compulsions can cause severe mental distress and interfere with everyday life.
Bulimia nervosa, commonly referred to as bulimia," is a potentially life-threatening eating disorder. Those with bulimia will go through episodes of “binge eating,” where they cannot control the amount of food they eat, followed by “purging.” Bulimia, if left untreated, can lead to extremely serious medical complications—even death. Due to the cycle of binging and purging, individuals with bulimia can seriously dehydrate themselves, damage their internal organs (including the heart and kidneys), and erode the enamel of their teeth.
Premenstrual dysphoria disorder is characterized by severe symptoms at the onset of menstruation. PMDD can cause extreme mood swings, irritability, depression, and physical symptoms like breast tenderness.
Paxil is also prescribed to treat anxiety disorders. A person who suffers from an anxiety disorder may have constant feelings of worry, difficulty concentrating, and an inability to relax. If left untreated, anxiety may eventually interfere with work or school performance, personal relationships, and other daily functions.
