Paxil (paroxetine) is a widely-used Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) used in a range of psychiatric disorders. Among the most potent medications in the SSRI class, it is a highly effective treatment but it does carry risk of disruptive side effects.

Patients commonly buy Paxil to manage:

• Major depressive disorder
• Generalized anxiety disorder
• Social anxiety disorder
• Panic disorder
• Obsessive compulsive disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Premenstrual dysphoric disorder

Note that this medication can interact with a range of other drugs. MAOI inhibitors---often prescribed for similar conditions---are of particular concern. Check with a doctor or pharmacist before mixing other medications with Paxil.

Treatment with Paxil

Paxil comes in tablets, typically taken once per day in the morning. Tablets can be taken with or without food as desired; taking with food may ease nausea.

Treatment is usually long term, spanning months or even years. It takes about a month of treatment for significant results to be seen.

Treatment is typically as follows in most conditions:

• Start with 20 mg per day for at least one week.
• If no improvements are seen, dosage may be increased in 10 mg increments, waiting at least a week between increases.
• The majority of patients find 40 mg per day to be effective, though some have good results with 20 mg and others require 60 mg per day.
• Do not exceed 60 mg per day without explicit doctor instruction.

The advisability of splitting or crushing tablets depends on how it was manufactured. Since the patent on this medication expired in the early 2000s it has been possible to buy Paxil in a number of generic versions; some are designed to be split while others are not. As a general rule, any tablet with a score mark can be split; tablets without should not.

Before you Buy Paxil

Patients planning to buy Paxil should be aware of the risks associated with it. It's important this medication be used as directed to prevent potentially serious complications:

• Paxil can produce serious side effects if treatment stops abruptly, some of which can be severe. Speak with a doctor about a discontinuation plan; dosage should be gradually reduced over the course of weeks.
• This medication can cause harm to babies if taken while pregnant, particularly during the third trimester. However, as mentioned above, suddenly stopping treatment can also cause problems. If you discover you are pregnant while taking Paxil, speak with a doctor about the best course of action.
• In patients under 25 years of age, SSRIs like Paxil are associated with a slightly increased risk of suicidal behavior. Younger patients starting treatment should be monitored closely.
• Many patients experience sexual dysfunction while taking SSRIs, including loss of interest in sex, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, or delayed ejaculation. There are many products that can alleviate most of these symptoms---such as lubrication, Viagra, or Cialis---but there are no widely-recognized treatments for lost libido. Fortunately sexual side effects nearly always reverse when SSRI treatment stops.

Other side effects are generally less worrisome, and only cause for concern if severe:

• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth
• Nausea
• Weakness
• Sweating
• Difficulty sleeping
• Appetite changes

Rarely Paxil may cause trembling, seizures, severe restlessness, and rapid or irregular heartbeat; these side effects warrant immediate medical attention.
