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.
ichever is YOUR diagnosisPaxil, also known as Paxil CR, is used to treat depression. It is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that helps your body get more serotonin into your brain, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Paxil works by increasing the reabsorption of serotonin between neurons, which helps reduce feelings of anxiety and improves control over one’s symptoms. The reabsorption of serotonin affects the activity of different enzymes in your brain, such as 5-hydroxytryptase (H trimbrain), a enzyme responsible for breaking down serotonin. Serotonin does not make you feel full all right.
Paxil is only for individuals who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or may suffer from certain medical conditions. If you are planning to become pregnant, you should not take Paxil. You should not take Paxil if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it or any of the ingredients in Paxil that come with it. You should not take Paxil if you are also taking an antidepressant.
Paxil is only approved for use by treating adults who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. If you are using Paxil or someone else may have accidentally overdosed, seek medical attention immediately and for 30 days, right away, at your or your child’s hospital. Right now, there is no approved dosage for adults.
A study published in 2019 found that there is no increase in the risk of abnormal vaginal bleeding or premature delivery in women taking Paxil or other antidepressants for six months. A 2017 study in 2017 also found no increased risk of vaginal bleeding in women taking Paxil or other antidepressants for six months.
However, a 2017 2019 study in adults found that Paxil for up to six months did increase the risk of abnormal vaginal bleeding in the first six months of treatment compared to no treatment. The risk was nearly five times higher for women taking Paxil compared to no treatment. A 2020 study in adults found that Paxil for six months increased the risk of vaginal bleeding in the first six months of treatment compared to no treatment.
It is not known if Paxil is safe and effective during pregnancy. However, the CDC says Pexeva should not be used during pregnancy. Pexeva is approved for use by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Pexeva is only approved for treating adults who are pregnant or may become pregnant.
As with any medication, there are potential side effects. The most common side effects of Paxil include drowsiness, weight gain, changes in mental health, and changes in menstrual flow.
Paxil can also interact with other medications.
