Paroxetine, sold under the brand names Paxil and Seroxat among others, is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class.[1] It is used to treat major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.[1] It has also been used in the treatment of premature ejaculation and hot flashes due to menopause.[1][7] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, loss of appetite, sweating, trouble sleeping, and sexual dysfunction.[1] Serious side effects may include suicide in those under the age of 25, serotonin syndrome, and mania.[1] While the rate of side effects appears similar compared to other SSRIs and SNRIs, antidepressant discontinuation syndromes may occur more often.[8][9] Use in pregnancy is not recommended while use during breastfeeding is relatively safe.[10] It is believed to work by blocking the re-uptake of the chemical serotonin by neurons in the brain.[1]

Paroxetine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1992 and initially sold by GlaxoSmithKline.[1][11] It is available as a generic medication.[12] A month supply in the United Kingdom costs the NHS about £1.10 per month as of 2019.[12] In the United States the wholesale cost of this amount is about US$2.40.[13] In 2017, it was the 68th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than eleven million prescriptions.[14][15] The United States Department of Justice fined GlaxoSmithKline $3 billion in 2012, for withholding data, unlawfully promoting use in those under 18, and preparing an article that misleadingly reported the effects of paroxetine in adolescent with depression following its clinical trial study 329.[16][17][18]
