Common Questions and Answers about Paxil manufacturer

paxil

Avatar m tn A few months ago I started a generic paxil from CVS. It is a different manufacturer than the generic I have been taking for about 3 years from Walmart. Since I have been taking the generic from CVS I have been extremely tired in the afternoons and now I don't feel well every afternoon like clockwork. I only take 15 milligrams of a 20 milligram pill and have been cutting it down for 2 years to only 15.Is this happening because the depression is coming on and the paxil is pooping out.?
Avatar f tn I would love to hear from people who have been on paxil for panic attacks and anxiety! GOOD or BAD stories please!!
Avatar n tn My understanding is that grapefruit can interact and increase the effect of Zoloft and Prozac but not paxil. The protein involved with Paxil is not affected by grapefruit. You can ask your local pharmacist about this as well.

527657 tn?1214051850 I also ended up going off it I had a fluttering heart and other bad side effects, I personally think that drug should be banned. It causes stress not relieves it. Now im on paxil im just wondering will i gain weight from this drug?
Avatar f tn I am a 36 year-old make. I have been taking Paxil 40mg/day for 10 years, and had worked miracles. I feel like it has quit working recently, so I started looking around on the web for some advice. It wasn't long before I stumbled upon 100's if not 1000's of post describing the hell of quitting Paxil. I have started obsessing about it, and now it's all I can think about.
Avatar n tn China! Very cool. Where in China are you? I spent some time in Hong Kong back in the early 80's, but you and I both know what that means! lol I wish I had some real help here for you Pete, but I just don't. I do NOT want to see you buying Lord only knows what off the net! Can you speak to someone at the American Embassy? They perhaps know of an avenue you could go down. I would also write to the manufacturer of Paxil and explain your dilemma to them.
Avatar f tn It is not in question that Paxil and Effexor are the hardest of all antidepressants to take and quit taking, and should only be used as last resort medications, not first resort. GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of Paxil, has been fined by every regulatory body for lying about this drug when it first came out and has been sued successfully (it was settled out of court because initial discovery discovered so much difficulty stopping this med and that the company knew this and lied about it).
1330166 tn?1379548346 I was just prescribed to 20mg Paxil from my doctor. I have read really nothing but bad stuff about it, like gaining weight, being in a " alone state of mind "? Is this drug going to help me? the worst of my problems is that I have recurring thoughts constantly that won't go away. Is there a better medication to just help strictly that alone? Thanks for your time.
Avatar n tn ve seen a lot over many years of this crap, are pretty lazy. I learned about it because the manufacturer of Cymbalta is seeking FDA approval for using the med for pain and the liver deaths have come out. This isn't unheard of -- tricyclics have for years been difficult for some and you have to get your liver tested regularly when you're on them, but they don't for Cymbalta. I think they're going to have to start with this info coming out.
Avatar m tn When my prescription was recently filled with a generic by the 4th different manufacturer (white oblong, white round, red round, and now green oblong), I vowed to get off the stuff. How can they all be the same?(My health professional recently wanted me to go on even stronger medicine). I went down from 40 mg to 20 mg/day over the course of a week and a half with no side effects. But this week has been completely different. After I received these new green pills(Zydus Pharm(?
Avatar m tn i got diagonosed with depression and anxiety and the doctor gave me paxil. i was suppose to start it like 2 weeks ago but havent because friends told me that all meds do is turn you into a zombie and make you a complete different person than you are. is this true? will i be able to see a difference? and also are there any extreme side effects with this pill? im tierd of feeling low, and im tierd of feeling scared all the time. but i definatley dont want to turn into a complete different person.
Avatar m tn Actually, Lexapro has no "maximum." 20mg is just the most studied by the manufacturer. Lexapro is basically another form of Celexa so the company could get another patent, but they do seem to affect people differently. I was on 30mg of Lexapro, but it didn't help and I actually got worse. So now I'm tapering off it to see if I can find something that works to undo what quitting Paxil did to me. It's the old medication carousel.
Avatar f tn m anti-uninformed physicians, psychiatrists and patients, and lying pharmaceutical companies. GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of Paxil, had to be sued to admit it knew before ever selling the drug that it caused severe withdrawal in healthy volunteers. It also has a high side effect profile, and is in fact notorious for weight gain. And yet, because it's often the only medication that helps people, I'm not against it, I'm just against it as a first resort.
Avatar f tn s office - mn gastro just called to say that Target/Triessent cannot supply this med as the manufacturer does not have it. I am terrified - need the procrit to complete last 12 weeks of tx -- can anyone help me out with this?
Avatar n tn s 80) just got it. I wont go into the mental HELL that I have been through, but Paxil stopped them cold. I was on Pamelor which was great until it wasn't, prozac was eh........I was SO TERRIFIED every time i took a new med.......I cannot even explain the terror as I swallowed a NEW pill. The first week of Paxil (Paroxetine) was tough, dizzy and a bit of nausea, as well as daytime sleepiness, which felt great.....I went from insomnia (which has come back ugh) to napping every day.
Avatar f tn Heroin in far worse physiologically, and Paxil far worse emotionally to withdraw from. And Paxil withdrawal can last a whole lot longer. But the reason it's not addictive is, to be technically considered addictive, you have to need to continually increase the dose to get the same effect. That's not true of ssris. But addiction is actually a medical term that has found it's way into our common lexicon in all kinds of erroneous ways.
Avatar f tn that I have finally found a site that actually deals with paxil and the ill effects of withdrawal. I have been on paxil on and off for 30 years after being diagnosed with a chemical imbalance at 17. I am or at least was feeling well and I wanted to try discontinuing paxil to detoxify my body. I did do it gradually which I would advise everyone however even after being off of the pills completely for 3 weeks I still suffer from a sense of hightened response to noise or movement.
Avatar m tn Thanks Teak It was taken in Hong Kong but test description only says-Hiv1/2 Ag/Ab (by CMIA), hence I wished to enquire about manufacturer. Not sure if any one other than Abbott manufactures 4th generation CMIA test The test was done from old and well known lab prescribed by my doctor.
Avatar n tn Can changing the manufacturer on your medicine cause them to lose effectiveness or how they are making you feel? Our insurance changed, and when it did I had to go to mail order meds. Since I've had to change, I have been struggling with my moods like I did before medication. (not quite as severe, but it's been a few years since my moods have taken such a severe dive) Any advice or thoughts would be so welcomed. I cannot handle feeling like this much longer.............
Avatar m tn I started seeing my then-doctor in 2012. As a result of things being diagnosed, I was prescribed Paroxetine for my anxiety. Now I have to say that the paroxetine 'did the trick' for my anxiety, BUT......as I recently found out on my own, "Research has shown that Paxil causes the most weight gain. Although weight gain will vary based on the individual, some people taking Paxil have reported weight gains of between 20 and 50 pounds.-"-per Google.
Avatar f tn I have been with the same manufacturer of metoprolol succinate for 2 years and had no problems and now they went out of business and the new manufacturer of the same medication isn't working for me!
Avatar f tn My psychiatrist tried prozac, paxil, zoloft, and a long list of other medications. I had horrible side effects from them all. He finally put me on Effexor - venlafaxine. Has worked like a charm -150 mg every morning. My Dad, an attorney, had OCD untreated for 7 years. He went on prozac up to 80 mg. He took it for 4 years with no positive effect. Out of desperation he called the drug manufacturer, and with their consent and his physician's, he went up to 120.
Avatar f tn what is the proper way to taper back to paxil? 3. How unsafe is paxil with pregnancy and what other options do I have? HELP! I feel like I am losing my mind!!!!
1530342 tn?1405016490 In another, prosecutors said GlaxoSmithKline, or GSK, advertised the drug Paxil for use on children, despite the FDA not having approved antidepressant for anyone under 18. A notice posted on the website for the U.S. National Library of Medicine warned that a small number children to young adults taking Paroxetine -- which is sold under the brand name Paxil -- in clinical studies "became suicidal.
Avatar f tn could be the cause of the sinus tachycardia so he recently switched me from Paxil to Lexapro. So the Paxil is now out of my system but I am still feeling the rapid heart beat. I know it's not dangerous since that is what the cardiologists have told me but I'm experiencing extreme anticipatory anxiety as to when my heart will speed up again and that something is going to happen to me, such as fainting or dying.
Avatar n tn Can I quit the paxil and take the klonopin 3 x a day as prescribed and safely get off Paxil. I am getting fat!
467977 tn?1262714747 I take Paxil and buspar on a daily basis. I used to only take the paxil, but I still had terrible anxiety in the morning. My doctor then added the buspar 2x a day. It helped me almost immediately. It took away that horrible nausea and anxiety by 90 % in the morning. Some people say that buspar isn't effective, but it has been very effective for me. I take Klonopin only on an as needed basis. (Which is very rarely). Hope this helps!
