Paxil (Paroxetine) Prescription

Paroxetine hydrochloride (Paxil, Paxil CR) is a prescription antidepressant, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs). It is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, social phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and premenstrual syndrome. It is also helpful in the prevention of depressive relapse.

If you believe that your condition requires treatment with antidepressant and you would like to buy Paxil or cheaper Paroxetine online, first you should talk with your doctor. The following information may be very helpful, but it does not substitute doctor's advice.

  • Paxil is moderately effective (and FDA approved) for many mental disorders. It is "broad-spectrum" antidepressant effective for depression of all types including mild, moderate and severe depression, and including depression combined with anxiety.
  • Paroxetine may improve sleep early in treatment without daytime sedation.
  • It has the highest rate and severity of withdrawal symptoms in comparison with other SSRIs, due to paroxetine's shortest half-life. Abrupt withdrawal of paroxetine rapidly decreases levels of medications in the brain and does not allow for brain adaptation.
  • It is more likely to cause sexual side effects and weight gain than the other SSRIs.

Detailed Information

Besides anxiety and depression, Paxil is also used in the treatment of premature ejaculation, chronic headache, bipolar disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, and compulsive gambling.

How Paroxetine works

With continued treatment, Paxil can help restore the balance of serotonin (a naturally occurring brain chemical), which helps reduce the symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression, and helps maintain mental balance.

How to take:

  • Dangerous and even fatal reactions are possible when Paxil is combined with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (e.g. Nardil, Parnate). Never take Paroxetine with or within 2 weeks of starting or stopping use of an MAO inhibitor.
  • Should be used cautiously by people with a history of manic disorders and those with high pressure in the eyes (glaucoma).
  • It's best to avoid an abrupt discontinuation of Paxil therapy. It can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, abnormal dreams, and tingling sensations. To prevent such problems, the dose should be reduced gradually.

How long it takes to start working

As with all SSRIs, it is generally accepted that it may take about 4-6 week for Paroxetine (Paxil) prescription to start working.

Dosage

Paxil is taken once a day, with or without food, usually in the morning.

Don't change your dosage regimen or stop the prescription without talking to your doctor. Paxil (Paroxetine) is very likely to cause pronounced withdrawal symptoms, and requires very gradual tapering off. The drug has no active metabolites and leaves the body in 24 hours.

Depression:
The usual starting dose is 20 mg a day, taken as a single dose, usually in the morning. At intervals of at least 1 week, your physician may increase the dosage by 10 mg a day, up to a maximum of 50 mg a day.

Maintenance therapy: Acute episodes of depression require several months or longer of antidepressant therapy. Paroxetine efficacy is maintained for periods of up to 1 year with doses that averaged about 30 mg.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder:
The usual starting dose is 20 mg a day, typically taken in the morning. At intervals of at least 1 week, your doctor may increase the dosage by 10 mg a day. The recommended long-term dosage is 40 mg daily. The maximum is 60 mg a day. Ask your doctor to determine the need for continued treatment and dosage adjustments for maintenance therapy.

Panic Disorder:
The usual starting dose is 10 mg a day in the morning. At intervals of 1 week or more, the doctor may increase the dose by 10 mg a day. The target dose is 40 mg daily.

Generalized anxiety disorder, Social anxiety, Post-traumatic stress disorder:
The recommended starting dosage and the established effective dosage is 20 mg taken once a day, usually in the morning.

While the safety of Paxil has been evaluated in patients with social anxiety disorder at doses up to 60 mg per day, available information does not suggest any additional benefit for doses above 20 mg per day.

Alternatives to Proxetine (Paxil) available without prescription include acupuncture, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), St. John's wort herb, Kava-kava.

  • Paxil was the first antidepressant formally approved in the United States for the treatment of social anxiety disorder, causing it to be sometimes referred to (although inaccurately) as an anti-shyness drug.
