I have been taking paroxetine 75 mg plus olanzapine 2.5 at night. But recently I visited by doctor as I was not feeling good. My doctor tried a lot of antidepressants but none of those worked. Thus he increased the dosage to olanzapine to 5 mg and paroxetine to 100 mg (25 in morn. And 75 at night). I have started feeling better by god's grace. My query is - can I take total dose of paroxetine 100 mg at night? Or I necessarily need to take it in two doses of 25 +75. Thank you. Do not wish to go for therapy.

Dear Ankur, You can take 100 mg of paroxetine at one time. Only initially for few weeks, you need split dose to get adjusted to the side effects. Later single dose makes you to comply with the medicine intake.

You can try taking total 100mg at night and see if it doesn't cause much changes in your condition. Usually this should not cause any issue. All the best
