Health care providers prescribe Paxil to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia, and other mental health conditions like anxiety disorders, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Depression, also known as major depressive disorder or clinical depression, is a mood disorder that negatively affects how you think, behave, and feel. Untreated depression can lead to a range of emotional and physical issues. The symptoms of depression may vary from person to person. They may appear mild in some, while they can be debilitating in others.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic condition that causes unwanted and uncontrollable thoughts or fears (obsessions). These obsessive thoughts lead individuals to engage in repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Obsessions and compulsions can cause severe mental distress and interfere with everyday life.
Bulimia nervosa, commonly referred to as bulimia," is a potentially life-threatening eating disorder. Those with bulimia will go through episodes of “binge eating,” where they cannot control the amount of food they eat, followed by “purging.” Bulimia, if left untreated, can lead to extremely serious medical complications—even death. Due to the cycle of binging and purging, individuals with bulimia can seriously dehydrate themselves, damage their internal organs (including the heart and kidneys), and erode the enamel of their teeth.
Premenstrual dysphoria disorder is characterized by severe symptoms at the onset of menstruation. PMDD can cause extreme mood swings, irritability, depression, and physical symptoms like breast tenderness.
Paxil is also prescribed to treat anxiety disorders. A person who suffers from an anxiety disorder may have constant feelings of worry, difficulty concentrating, and an inability to relax. If left untreated, anxiety may eventually interfere with work or school performance, personal relationships, and other daily functions.
MorenoDepression
Depression is more common in women of childbearing age, and it can stem from underlying health conditions. One such chronic condition are hormonal imbalances. If someone has had a deviation from pregnancy without consulting their doctor, they may be at an increased risk for repeated mood swings and depression. Abruptly releasingeither pregnancy or menopause may cause the brain to become less sensitive to mood-boosting drugs.
Women with major depressive disorder may have frequent episodes of depression at the onset of their pregnancy. This may continue after the index date of pregnancy, as long as they are breastfeeding or intend to breastfeeding.
Also, people with bipolar disorder may experience a rapid increase in depressive symptoms in the first few months of starting their medication. This can occur because their bipolar disorder is characterized by a combinedencephosphate (CEPH) build-up that causes them to have a higher frequency of depression episodes.
Other symptoms of bipolar disorder include unstable mood, depressed mood, and unstable energy levels. It’s important to note that not all symptoms of bipolar disorder are caused by depression. Some common symptoms of bipolar disorder include high energy, depressed mood, and fainting.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic condition that causes unwanted and uncontrollable thoughts or fears (obsessions) about the environment or the moment. It can be caused by underlying health conditions, hormones, or lifestyle factors.
The symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder may vary, though they typically do not directly involve the brain.
People with obsessive-compulsive disorder may have frequent episodes of obsessive-compulsive disorder at the onset of their obsessive-compulsive disorder. These episodes often last for a few days, leading to intense episodes of depression.
Other symptoms of compulsive episodes include intrusive thoughts, difficulty concentrating, and difficulty with emotions. If left untreated, these mental health symptoms can lead to severe medical complications.
Older adults and children over 65 years of age should speak with a doctor before starting medication like Paxil, as the effects on the brain may be more pronounced. A physical exam should be done to ensure that both the prescription and active medication are appropriate for the individual.
Bulimia nervosa
An older woman with bulimia, an eating disorder, may have periods of extreme happiness or happiness that are extremely difficult to describe. During these periods, she may be tempted to do something risky or engage in risky behaviors (compulsions). During these episodes, she may be tempted to avoid things that make her feel good, such as a plate spoon or a candy bar.

I have been taking paroxetine (Paxil) for over two years and am wondering if there are any side effects to paroxetine which I am aware of. I also have depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, eating disorders, and weight loss. My insurance company has a prescription for Paxil for me so I am not sure if there is a better choice. Is there any medication that would be more appropriate for me or should I be on it?
My doctor prescribed Paxil and it has been on the list for a few weeks. I am taking it on a daily basis. I am not sure if I am getting it from my doctor or my insurance company. My only concern is that I have anxiety. My insurance company is not helping my insurance company or my doctor.
I am taking this medication on a daily basis for about three weeks. I have depression and anxiety and I am concerned that this medication might cause weight gain, gain, and even cause more anxiety. I would not be taking it if I didn't feel that this would be the best choice for me. I am not sure why this medication is being prescribed and I am also concerned about the side effects. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have been on Paxil for about a year and am concerned about the side effects and I am considering taking this medication to help prevent a weight gain. I am also concerned about the weight gain I do not feel any better. I am a woman and have been taking the medication since I was young and I am concerned that this medication could cause some weight gain. I am concerned that I am not getting any weight gain. I am also concerned about the side effects. I have taken it in the past and have noticed that my thyroid levels are very low. I don't want to do the weight loss because I feel like I have a lot of weight.
I also had a discussion with my doctor with the intent of getting a prescription to take a drug that would prevent me from losing weight. I was thinking of changing my diet so I could get some of the medication. It seems that this medication does not work at all and I don't think it will have any effect on weight. I also am on a low dose of paroxetine that I do not want to lose.
I think I should have another look into the side effects and what I can do to help avoid these. I would really appreciate any input and guidance.
June 24, 2015, 12:30pm3I have been on paroxetine for over 2 years and am concerned about the side effects. I have noticed a slight increase in anxiety. I am concerned that this medication might cause weight gain. I have been taking this medication for about 3 months and am not sure if there is a better choice for me.
I do have some weight changes. I have been taking the medication for a month or so. I am taking it for 2 weeks and have noticed a slight increase in anxiety. I am worried about weight gain and if it is not happening then I am not sure whether I am getting any weight gain. I am not sure if I have the right dose or dosage for this medication. I also had anxiety when I took the drug for the first time. The anxiety I got from this medication is very much a side effect. I would not want to take this medication for anything other than weight gain.
I do not want to take this medication for anything other than weight gain. I am concerned about the side effects. I am also concerned about the weight gain I do not feel well. I am not sure if this medication is working for me.
June 24, 2015, 2:40pm5I started taking Paxil about two years ago. I have never heard of paroxetine being a weight gain. I have no anxiety or other side effects.
I am on paroxetine and I have noticed a slight increase in anxiety. The anxiety I have been feeling from this medication is really a bit of a rollercoaster.
