Paxil 30 mg Tablets

A healthcare provider may prescribe Paxil^® (paroxetine hydrochloride) to treat several conditions, such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and certain anxiety disorders. Of the four strengths of Paxil tablets on the market, Paxil 30 mg tablets are the second to the highest strength available. The dose of Paxil your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, such as your age, other medical conditions you may have, and other medications you are currently taking (including vitamins and herbal supplements).

 

The recommended starting dose is typically Paxil 20 mg once daily (usually in the morning). However, the starting dose for treating panic disorder and for elderly people or people with liver or kidney problems will be lower. If symptoms continue, your healthcare provider may choose to increase the Paxil dosage. If side effects occur, the dosage may be decreased.

 

The maximum Paxil dose is 50 mg (for depression, generalized anxiety disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder) or 60 mg (for social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder).

 

It usually takes several weeks (perhaps even more than a month) before feeling the beneficial effects of Paxil.
