Treatment With Paxil CR |
| |
If you are being treated for depression or certain anxiety disorders, or if you think you may have symptoms, you should understand that these conditions are not just "all in your head." Panic disorder, social anxiety disorder and depression are medical conditions — and Paxil CR can help.
Paxil CR has been proven generally well tolerated and effective in the treatment of these conditions. It is also approved for the treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Experts don't know the exact cause of these conditions. Research shows that they may be linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain. With continued treatment, Paxil CR helps regulate the balance of a chemical called serotonin (a natural substance that acts as a "messenger" between nerve cells in the brain).

The "CR" in Paxil CR stands for controlled release. That means that the medicine is released slowly into your system. Studies have shown that Paxil CR provides effective symptom relief with a low number of patients stopping treatment because of side effects.
Ask your healthcare provider if Paxil CR may be right for you. |
