There is no such formula which can identify the perfect dose, it depends on person to person. Such people improve with minimal dose and some require high doses or some may not show any effect when taken this medication. You need to wait for at least 2 weeks before consulting for dose increase or change in medicine. All the best

Dear , since you are overweight for your height. I suggest you try different antidepressant instead. Paroxetine is linked to weight gain and dry mouth.
I suggest you ask your psychiatrist if he can give you other antidepressants that actually help reduce weight such as bupropion, fluoxetine etc.
I wish you all the best.

Dear lybrate-user ji, paroxetine is an antidepressant medication of ssri group. It is used for treating depression, anxiety stress, premature ejaculation in male and insomnia. Usual dose is 12.5 mg to 37.5 mg. You have taken more than the prescribed dose. Apparently it may be because of poor symptom control of your stress/ anxiety/depression. But, it is a dangerous habit. Overdose of paroxetine may cause worsening of your hypertension and even may lead to a serious adverse effect called "seroton...more

You should not take any medicine without doctor's advice. It may be harmful and can lead to other complications. We have to look into the details of the problem. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.

I was diagnosed with hypochondriasis 5 years back. Was worried about having heart issues and used to get tests done frequently as I was getting panic attacks and feeling anxious all the time. I was prescribed paroxetine 12.5 mg and clonazepam 0.5 mg twice a day and which was later reduced to once a day. Six months back my medication was stopped abruptly as I was stuck overseas due to covid. I also gained a lot of weight on paroxetine and have delayed ejaculation. Once the medicines were stopped abruptly, I lost around 7-8 kgs of weight but the anxiety came back. I was prescribed 100 mg of sertraline and increased to 150 mg per day but it didn’t work much even after 8 weeks. I am now prescribed 50 mg sertraline in morning and 12.5 mg paroxetine in evening to gradually switch to paroxetine again but I am afraid of side effects of paroxetine and also I have started getting panic attack. What can be other medicine with less side effects and can treat anxiety disorder. Thanks.

Therapy, especially cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on behavior change, or exposure therapy, which can help people deal with irrational fears in a safe and controlled environment. These are considered highly effective for anxiety. You can find a therapist who practices these specific methods at the anxiety and depression association of america.
Stress reduction methods, such as yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, have been shown to be effective in controlling symptoms of anxiety. ...more

Hi, I can understand that there is a dilemma between getting adequate response from medication and getting relief from sexual adverse effects. I believe you have already discussed this issue with your psychiatrist and buspirone might have been added for this reason. If you want to stay on paroxetine, then other potential options are either decreasing dose of paroxetine (provided your depressive symptoms are under control) or adding a different medication such as bupropion or mirtazapine etc. Ins...more

Dear lybrate-user,
lamictal is a mood stabiliser and it prevents recurrent episodes of low mood in the long run.
To lift your mood further, paroxetine and therapy will help. There are few add on supplements too, like same, 5ht, thyroxine, vitamin d, ect. Please discuss your mood and memory problems with your psychiatrist.
