Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Paxil contains Paroxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This medication is used to treat conditions such as depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Paroxetine works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which can help improve mood and alleviate anxiety. It is typically taken as an oral tablet.
Paxil is taken by mouth, usually in the morning and with or without food. The standard starting dosage for adults is 10 or 20 mg daily, depending on the condition being treated. For older adults, a lower starting dose of 10 mg daily is more common. Follow the instructions given by a healthcare provider, as they may adjust the dose based on individual responses. Consistency in taking it at the same time every day can help ensure it’s effective.
The active ingredient in Paxil is Paroxetine.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
Known hypersensitivity to Paroxetine
Use of Thioridazine or Pimozide
Concurrent use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
Recent discontinuation of an MAOI within 14 days
Before taking Paxil, you may want to consult a healthcare provider about the following:
Any existing health conditions
Any allergies
A list of all medications you are currently taking
Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
Paxil may raise the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in people under 25, especially when first starting the medication or changing the dose. This is more common in those with depression.
Taking Paxil with other drugs that affect serotonin, such as migraine medications, some painkillers, other antidepressants, or herbal products like St. John’s Wort, can lead to serotonin syndrome, a rare but serious condition. Symptoms may include confusion, fever, muscle stiffness, or seizures.
Paxil should not be taken with Thioridazine or Pimozide, which are drugs that can cause dangerous heart rhythm changes when combined with Paxil.
Using Paxil during early pregnancy may slightly increase the chance of heart problems in babies. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor about other treatment options.
Paxil may increase the risk of bleeding, especially if you take blood thinners like NSAIDs or antiplatelet agents. Tell your doctor if you notice unusual bruising, bleeding, or nosebleeds.
If you have bipolar disorder, Paxil could trigger manic episodes. Tell your doctor if you or a family member has a history of bipolar disorder before starting treatment.
Stopping Paxil suddenly can lead to withdrawal symptoms like dizziness, nausea, mood swings, anxiety, or electric shock-like feelings. Your doctor can help you taper off slowly to avoid this.
Common side effects of Paxil include nausea, sleepiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and sweating. Many people also experience changes in sexual function, such as decreased libido or difficulty with arousal or orgasm. Other common problems include tremors, problems sleeping, yawning, nervousness, and digestive challenges like diarrhea or decreased appetite. These side effects are often mild and may improve over time.
More serious side effects may include serotonin syndrome, which can cause confusion, hallucinations, fever, or muscle stiffness and requires immediate medical attention. Paxil can also increase the risk of eye problems, seizures, low sodium levels, and unusual bleeding, especially in older adults or people taking certain other medications. Stopping Paxil suddenly may lead to withdrawal symptoms like mood changes, electric shock sensations, or trouble sleeping. Talk to your doctor if you notice serious side effects or have concerns about changes in your health.
