Hello, simple answer is with controlled release (cr) preparation, paroxetine shall remain in blood stream for longer time & will have less chance of adverse side effects like dry mouth, sleepiness etc. So, depending upon a patients profile psychiatrist shall choose whether paroxetine plain or paroxetine-cr is of better use.

The usual dose range is 12. 5 mg to 75 mg although 75 mg is usually not required. Hope this helps.

As of today, treatment for some forms of schizophrenia is life long. Since 2007, she is suffering from schizophrenia. So in all respects, she may have to take the medicines for life.

Some intelligent doctor like me said the same for cancer and AIDS. But research has caught up and now we have treatment for both cancers and AIDS.
So in all likelihood, there will be a permanent cure for schizophrenia.

Paroxetine by itself is an ssri, kindly consult an experienced psychiatrist and it is wise not to meddle with the medications, as there is risk of serotonin syndrome and others. All the best.
