PAXIL CR  (PAROXETINE HYDROCHLORIDE):  Paroxetine is used to treat depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). It works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (serotonin) in the brain. Paroxetine is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. It may decrease fear, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and the number of panic attacks. Paroxetine may lessen premenstrual symptoms such as irritability, increased appetite, and depression.   FDA Approval Date: 2000-12-06 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  OCD and a Panic Disorder I have no side effects going on or off of paxil. I have some weight gain, but I work out every other day to help balance it out. But then thats just common sense if you're putting on weight. I'd say its over prescribed and alot of the side effects and the most severe withdrawls are either isolated cases where people need it and it isn't right for them, OR they don't really need it and its being over prescribed. Either can happen. I'd say if the illness isn't life affecting and you have a bad experience with paxil you might not need it. But if you have a life affecting illness please make sure to keep giving OTHER drugs a shot. I went through about four drugs, and they weren't for me, the side effects and withdrawls were SEVERE. But I stuck with it and found something that works for me. You should too. M 1 years
