Give Treatment Time |
| |
You may need long-term treatment to help keep your condition under control. The best way to find out how long you should stay on medicine is to ask your healthcare provider. He or she will tell you how long to take Paxil CR.
If you stop taking your medicine too soon, you can affect your recovery and progress. Many people begin feeling better and stop taking their medicine before they should. This raises the risk that symptoms will return. So, even if you're feeling better, keep taking Paxil CR for as long as your healthcare provider tells you to.
Some medicines need time to work. It may take several weeks or more before you see a difference. So, don’t give up if you don’t feel better right away. Be patient. Follow your healthcare provider’s advice.
Stick with treatment
It’s natural to have questions when you’re thinking about starting a new medicine. You may wonder about possible side effects, or how long you’ll have to take your medicine.
Like any medicine, Paxil CR may cause side effects. But studies showed that Paxil CR provides effective symptom relief with a low number of patients stopping treatment because of side effects. And by staying on treatment, you may improve your chances of recovery.
With many medicines, side effects can happen. In time, many people find that side effects fade or disappear. In people who have side effects from Paxil CR, they’re usually mild to moderate.
Everybody responds to medicine differently. Some people have side effects. Many don’t.
