Paroxetine: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Paroxetine is a prescription antidepressant and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It is used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Paxil works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, a chemical that helps regulate mood, sleep, and overall emotional balance.
