Abstract

(SSRI). Paroxetine IR is approved for treating adults with major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor when discontinuing treatment with paroxetine and whenever possible, doses should be reduced gradually. If intolerable symptoms occur following a dose reduction or stopping treatment, then resuming the previously prescribed dose may be considered. Side effects that have been reported with paroxetine discontinuation and other SSRIs include irritability, agitation, dizziness, anxiety, confusion, headache, lethargy, emotional lability, insomnia, and hypomania. Although these events are generally self-limiting, there have been some reports of serious discontinuation symptoms.
