Paroxetine generic name
Common Questions and Answers about Paroxetine generic name
paxil
The only problem with the Brand name is the cost!! Brand name Prozac 90 day mail order $445 ! Generic Chinees stuf about $28 and this is with insurance. I've asked my doc to see if there is a reliable generic SSRI drug out there that won't break the bank. Anyone have any suggestions?
Oh and please don't suggest Paroxetine (Paxil) been down that rode....
My mother who is 79 years old, has severe arthritis and has dealt with anxiety for many years has been prescribed for sometime by her doctor to take 20 mg Paroxetine and 2 mg Alprazolam in the morning, 1 mg Alprazolam at lunch and 2 mg Alprazolam before bedtime. Paroxetine is the generic for Paxil and Alprazolam is the generic for Xanax. Is it normal to be taking Paxil and Xanax at the same time?
Once that rules out anything organic, then they truly need to help you with some anti-anxiety medication like Paxil (paroxetine is the generic name) or Prozac (fluoxetine is generic name), or Celexa (citalopram is generic name) or even Lexapro (escitalopram is generic name). Those are long acting anti-anxiety or anti0depressant medications. In addition to that, they should also give you a short term supply of some rapid acting anti-anxiety medication like Xanax, or Valium, or Ativan.
I take 40 mg of paroxetine, the generic for Paxil. My anxiety attacks have lessened but am still getting them 2-3 times a week. Way down from 2-3 per day. I have social anxiety as well and manic depression with suicidal tendencies. I was also prescribed .5mg of Xanax, actually the generic for it, and it only helps if I take 2 of them, sometimes I have to take 3. But when I take them, I fall asleep pretty fast and stay asleep for at least 12-15 hours straight. But then I feel great.
Hi
Iv been on many different antidepressants and I'm currently on paroxetine and I'm the same - I sweat in day at night esp when exercising or even walking fast. It's annoying but iv been told there's nothing you can do - you can either try a different drug, deal with it or stop (if this side effect is more a bother than your reason for taking it). I feel your frustration.
I've taken both generic paroxetine and generic bupropion (aka Wellbutrin) together at maximum dosages, and had no problems with either. I didn't notice any pain-relief effect, though. I did notice, at times, an overall feeling of emotional numbness, but my doc at the time said that was likely due to the underlying depression, not the drugs.
Paroxetine is in the SSRI class, a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor.
I have been on Paroxetine for a couple of years now due to some family-counseling issues. I was reluctant to go on them at first. But for my family, I thought I'd try it.
It did reduce my anxiety. I slept better, deeper, and longer. A life-long stutterer, it cut my stuttering by 50-75%, and improved how I was viewed at work (I believe), by my calmness, better speech, and ability to focus. I had suffered from significant anxiety my whole life up to that point.
what is a generic drug?
0 down to 0.
t mind my asking what anti-depressant are you taking. I am asking this because I was switched to Paroxetine( generic Paxil ) six weeks prior to this attack that has had a lot of eye and visual symptoms, but I still don't know if it is related to what happened.
Some anti-depressants, as well as other medications can have eye and vision side effects! If you could tell us some more of your history, test, blood work, MRI ect then I know there will be a lot of people who will try to help you!
Yes it's totally legal. If you want more information there's a guy on the internet who outlines the process, whether you travel abroad or order online. He actually wrote a book and started a blog on it. He also started a buyer's club but no need to go that route. His name is Greg Jefferys, google his name for more information.
I have been on Paroxetine for 10 years on and off and whenever I have a question about any medications that I can safely take I call the pharmacist and they are good about answering my guestions.Good luck!!
Combining fluoxetine or paroxetine with phenytoin can also lead to increased phenytoin side effects and reduce blood levels of paroxetine.
You really need to discuss the potential drug interactions with your own doctor.
My question concerns Synthroid.
On Dec 04, 2006 at 12:00AM, Mark Lupo, M.D. said in answer to a question:
"Levoxyl is another brand -- there is no advantage to Synthroid. Protecting the brand has advantages over generic regarding consistency of levels. the generic is levothyroxine".
Huh? What on earth does that answer mean? "Protecting"? "consistency of levels?
