Paroxetine (Controlled Release) 12.5mg

Controlled Release Paroxeint (Pexep CR) is used to treat depression and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

For those that have high levels of depression or OCD, controlled release Paroxetine (Pexep CR) may be very effective. This works throughout the day so that a patient isn’t having to take more than one dose of it. Taking this medicine daily is very important to get the full benefits from it. Only having to remember one dose is a great help.

The use of Paroxetine controlled release allows the brain to produce more serotonin. This chemical is responsible for regulating mood and when there is more of it, then a person is less likely to suffer from various feelings of depression. The amount of it that has to be taken per day depends on the needs of the patient. The goal of the doctor will be to offer the least amount that still offers the most benefits.

Be patient with Paroxetine controlled release as you may have to take it daily for a couple of weeks before you notice you feel any better. Don’t fall into the common trap though of stopping this medicine due to the fact that you are feeling better. As soon as you stop using it, the symptoms of OCD and depression are going to return. Going off of this medicine suddenly can create adverse effects for you so only do so under close supervision of your doctor.

Women who are pregnant shouldn’t use it. You need to make sure your doctor is aware of anything you take including herbal supplements. Not all of the products out there will mix well with Paroxetine controlled release. There are some known side effects you may experience. They include headaches, dry mouth, insomnia, and constipation. They usually aren’t too harsh and they should go away after a few days of using it.
