Paxil CR is a prescription medication that is used to treat depression. It is also used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Paxil CR is classified as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant that works by restoring the balance of certain natural chemicals in the body such as serotonin which helps you feel good. It improves your mood in a few minutes and helps you to feel more energized and revived. Paxil CR also reduces negative thoughts and panic attacks. Paxil CR is not recommended for patients who are under 18 years old.
Do not take Paxil CR if you are allergic to it or if you have used or intend to use a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) in the next 14 days. If you are taking medicines that contain pimozide or thioridazine, do not use Paxil CR.
Before using Paxil CR tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions you may have or if you have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, liver disease, seizure, narrow-angle glaucoma, bipolar disorder, or drug addiction. If you are pregnant, taking an SSRI antidepressant during pregnancy may cause serious lung problems or other complications in the baby. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. You also need to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking including all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal supplements. If you are taking MAO inhibitors such as isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, and tranylcypromine, you need to tell your doctor to avoid drug interactions.
Paxil CR should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken once each day with or without food. However, taking Paxil CR with food reduces nausea. You must continue to use this drug even if you begin to feel better. Do not start or stop taking this medicine without your doctor's advice as you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Get medical advice on how to safely stop using Paxil CR.
Paxil CR produces unwanted side effects which include headache, nausea, dizziness, trouble sleeping, vision changes, weakness, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, and decreased sex drive.
Using a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib, and diclofenac along with Paxil CR may cause you to bruise or bleed easily.
If you have new or worsening symptoms of mood or behavior changes such as anxiety, depression, or if you have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself, call your doctor right away.
If you have signs of an allergic reaction such as hives, rash, peeling or blistered skin, trouble breathing, and swelling of your face, lips, throat, and tongue, get immediate medical attention.
This is not a complete list of the possible side effects of Paxil CR and you can get others. Talk to your doctor about all the risks associated with using this medicine to ensure it is right for you. You can also report any negative side effects to the FDA.
