Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. It is used for major depressive disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It comes as 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg tablets; the brand known in Australia is Aropax (Paxil elsewhere).
Medicines such as paroxetine may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and actions, particularly in young people and when the dose changes, so any worsening mood should be reported to a doctor straight away (MedlinePlus). Do not stop it suddenly: the dose is reduced gradually.
