IMPORTANT NOTE: The following information is intended to heighten awareness of health information and does not suggest diagnosis or treatment. This information is not a substitute for individual medical attention and should not be construed to indicate that use of the drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. See your health care professional for medical advice and treatment.

What you should know about Paxil:

• Paxil (paroxetine hydrochloride) belongs to the family of medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
• Paxil has been prescribed to you by your doctor to relieve your symptoms of depression, obsessions and compulsions, panic disorder, social phobia (social anxiety disorder), generalized anxiety disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder.

What you should tell your doctor before taking Paxil:

• all your medical conditions, including a history of seizures, liver or kidney disease, heart problems or history of any abnormal bleeding;
• any medications (prescription or nonprescription) which you are taking, especially monoamine oxidase inhibitor antidepressants (e.g., phenelzine sulphate, moclobemide) or any other antidepressants, thioridazine, drugs used to prevent fits (anticonvulsants), drugs for Parkinson's disease, or drugs containing tryptophan;
• any natural or herbal products you are taking (e.g., St. John's Wort);
• if you are pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant, or if you are breast-feeding;
• your habits of alcohol consumption.

How to take Paxil:

• It is very important that you take Paxil exactly as your doctor has instructed. Generally most people take between 20 to 40 mg of Paxil per day for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social phobia (social anxiety disorder), generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, although your doctor may start you at 10 mg/day for panic disorder. Your doctor may increase the dose.
• Never increase the amount of Paxil you are taking unless your doctor tells you to.
• You should continue to take your medicine even if you do not feel better, as it may take a number of weeks for your medicine to work.
• Take your tablets in the morning, preferably with food. You should swallow the tablets whole with water. Do not chew them.
• You should avoid taking St. John's Wort if you are taking Paxil.
• Keep taking your tablets until the doctor tells you to stop. The doctor may tell you to continue to take your medicine for several months. Continue to follow the doctor's instructions.
• If you forget to take your tablet in the morning, take it as soon as you remember. Take your next dose at the normal time the next morning, then carry on as before.

Remember: This medicine has been prescribed only for you. Do not give it to anybody else.

When not to use Paxil: Do not use Paxil if you are allergic to it or any of the components of its formulation (see list of components at the end of this section). Stop taking the drug and contact your doctor immediately if you experience an allergic reaction or any severe or unusual side effects.

Paxil Side Effects / Precautions:

• You may experience some side effects such as nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, sweating, nervousness, sleep disturbances and sexual problems. Other effects may include loss of appetite, constipation, and diarrhea. Consult your doctor if you experience these or other side effects, as the dose may have to be adjusted.
• Paxil does not usually affect people's normal activities. However, some people feel sleepy while taking it, in which case they should not drive or operate machinery.
• Avoid alcoholic drinks while taking Paxil.
• Contact your physician before stopping or reducing your dosage of Paxil. Symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, agitation/restlessness, anxiety, sweating, headache, sleep disturbance, electric shock sensations and other symptoms have been reported after stopping or reducing the dosage of Paxil. Such symptoms may also occur if a dose is missed. These symptoms usually disappear without needing treatment. Tell your doctor immediately if you have these or any other symptoms. Your doctor may adjust the dosage of Paxil to alleviate the symptoms.

What to do in case of overdose:

• If you have taken a large number of tablets all at once, contact your doctor or the nearest hospital emergency department immediately, even though you may not feel sick. Show the doctor your pack of tablets.
