Paxil® (paroxetine hydrochloride) is a prescription medication that is approved to treat several health conditions that affect the brain, including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder. The drug works by allowing a certain brain chemical (serotonin) to stay in the brain for a longer period of time. Typically, Paxil is taken by mouth once a day. If you do not take your Paxil as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double your dose of Paxil.
