Paxil CR (Generic name: Paroxetine Hydrochloride, Paroxetine HCl) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. Paxil CR is the controlled-release tablets used to treat major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, premenstrual syndrome and panic and anxiety disorders. Paroxetine HCl works by restoring the balance of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain associated with mood. It may take 2 to 4 weeks of using Paxil CR before your symptoms improve.
The most common Paxil CR side effects are weight gain, drowsiness, nausea, dry mouth and impaired sexual function. Most side effects are experienced at higher dosages, and disappear in 1 to 4 weeks as the body adjusts to the drug.
Always tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as some drugs may interact negatively with Paxil CR. Tell your doctor about any drug allergies, and always take your medications exactly as prescribed. Do not take Paxil CR if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Paxil CR should not be taken by anyone under the age of 18. Call your doctor immediately if your depression worsens or you have thoughts of suicide. Do not stop taking Paxil CR suddenly.
