Drug Uses
Paxil
is an agent in a newer class of antidepressant medication known as selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Depression and anxiety disorders might
be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. One of these chemicals is
serotonin, which helps send electrical signals from one nerve cell to another.
In the process, serotonin is released from one nerve cell (the sender) and
travels to the next (the receiver), where it is either absorbed or returns back
to the original sender cell.
How To Take
Paxil
comes as a tablet to take it orally. It is usually taken once daily and may be
taken with or without food. Do not take more or less of it or take it more
often than prescribed by your doctor. Continue to take Paxil even if you feel
well. Do not stop taking Paxil without talking to your doctor, especially if
you have taken large doses for a long time. Your doctor probably will want to
decrease your dose gradually. This drug must be taken regularly for a few weeks
before its full effect is felt.
Warnings/Precautions
Before
taking Paxil, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease,
seizures or epilepsy, or a manic disorder or suicidal thoughts. You may not be
able to take Paxil, or you may need a dosage adjustment or special monitoring
during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above. Paxil is in
the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether it will
be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not take Paxil without first talking to your
doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. Paxil
passes into breast milk and may affect a nursing baby. Do not take Paxil
without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Missed Dose
Take
the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for
the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Possible Side Effects
If
you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Paxil and
contact your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical treatment: an
allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the
lips, tongue, or face; or hives); an irregular heartbeat or pulse; low blood
pressure (dizziness, weakness); high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred
vision); unusual bleeding or bruising; or fever or chills. Less serious side
effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Paxil and talk to your
doctor if you experience headache; tremor, nervousness, or anxiety; nausea,
diarrhea, dry mouth, or changes in appetite or weight; sleepiness or insomnia;
or decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm. Side effects
other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side
effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
