Paroxitine to Treat Depression
Paroxitine is the generic name of the drug called Paxil. Paroxotine is used to treat depression and other disorders such as anxiety. For many people, these medications are the first choice for the treatment of depression. Antidepressant medications are used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/mood disorders. These medications can help prevent suicidal thoughts or attempts and provide other benefits. However, studies have shown that a small number of people especially children/teenages who take antidepressants for any condition may experience worsening depression. Hence, it is very important to talk with a doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication, even if the treatment is not for a mental condition. Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new antidepressant is started or when the dose is changed.
The active ingredient in Paxil is Paroxetine hydrochloride. The medication comes in tablet form and is available in different strengths, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg base. Paroxoine was FDA approved in 1992. Note that the FDA has issued a public health advisory regarding suicidality (suicidal thinking and behavior) in children, adolescents, and adults with major depression whether or not they are being treated with antidepressant medications. Close observation by health care providers, family, and others is necessary to watch for worsening depression and suicidality, especially when beginning or discontinuing antidepressants or when increasing or decreasing the dose.

It has almost been proved that women are much more vulnerable to depression as compared to men. To put it in figures one in five women is hit by depression which is double the figure in men. Though the real and exact reason behind this sort of uncanny phenomenon still eludes human intelligence, there are an ample lot of depression medications that have successfully thumped depression, as for example the antidepressants like xanax valium .
I am at this moment coming down from paroxatine and my doctot has cut them compleately and prescribed trazodone I am wininng my battle but withdrawel is bad sometimes any one has my sympathy comin down so quick But I will win
I used to be able to afford Paroxetine and other antidepressants when I was employed. But since being laid off and going through all my saving I can no longer afford to buy this and other antidepressants. So now all I do is sit around, clean my guns and look at my slides of action in Vietnam. I dream that someday I'll can help the drug companies make more money from me if I get a job.
