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 CR (Paroxetine) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a chemical in the brain that helps control mood. Paxil CR comes in a controlled-release form, which means the medicine is released into your body slowly throughout the day. This slow release can help reduce side effects and lets you take the medication just once a day.
Paxil CR should be taken as a single daily dose in the morning, with or without food. It’s important to swallow the tablet whole, without chewing or crushing it, to maintain its controlled-release properties. For adults, the typical starting dosage is 12.5 mg to 25 mg daily. For older adults, the initial dose is often 12.5 mg daily. Dosages may vary based on individual needs and should be managed by a healthcare provider.
The active ingredient in Paxil CR is Paroxetine.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
Known hypersensitivity to Paroxetine
Concurrent use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
Recent discontinuation of an MAOI within 14 days
Use of Thioridazine or Pimozide
Before taking Paroxetine, 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
Paroxetine may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in people under 25, especially in the first few months of treatment or when the dose changes. This risk is highest for those with depression.
Taking Paroxetine with other medications that affect serotonin—like migraine drugs, some painkillers, antidepressants, or herbal supplements like St. John’s Wort—can lead to a rare but serious condition called serotonin syndrome. This can cause symptoms like agitation, fever, muscle stiffness, confusion, or seizures.
Paroxetine should not be taken with certain medications like Thioridazine or Pimozide, as doing so can affect heart rhythm and lead to serious heart problems.
Paroxetine may slightly increase the risk of birth defects, especially heart problems, if taken during the first trimester. Talk to your doctor if you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Paroxetine may increase the risk of bleeding, especially if taken with blood thinners. Watch for unusual bruising, bleeding, or nosebleeds and report them to your doctor.
In people with bipolar disorder, Paroxetine may trigger manic or mixed episodes. Before starting, your doctor may ask about any personal or family history of mood disorders.
Do not stop Paroxetine suddenly. Doing so may lead to nausea, dizziness, trouble sleeping, or mood changes. Your doctor will guide you on how to safely stop the medication.
Common side effects of Paxil CR include nausea, sleepiness, dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, and sexual problems in both men and women. Some people may also experience sweating, tremors, blurred vision, or trouble sleeping. These symptoms are usually mild and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or become bothersome, talk to your healthcare provider.
Paroxetine may also cause more serious side effects, including serotonin syndrome, low sodium levels, and seizures. It can increase the risk of abnormal bleeding, eye problems, or manic episodes in some individuals. Stopping this medication suddenly can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, mood changes, or electric shock sensations. Let your doctor know if you experience any serious reactions or need help managing side effects.
