Paxil Pills

Paxil^® (

paroxetine hydrochloride) is a prescription medication approved for treating depression, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and various other conditions within the brain.

This medicine belongs to a class of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It works by balancing the levels of serotonin, a specific chemical in the brain. This action can help improve the symptoms of depression (and other conditions) and prevent relapses.

Both Paxil pills and Paxil oral solution are taken by mouth, typically once a day. If the medication makes you drowsy, try taking it before bedtime; if it causes insomnia, try taking it in the morning. Most people take Paxil in the morning.
