About Paxil & Paxil Cases

Paxil is a popular antidepressant which has been prescribed to millions of people throughout the U.S. for the treatment of depression anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress syndrome, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Paxil was released on the market in December of 1992 and is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, a pharmaceutical giant based in the United Kingdom. The generic name for this antidepressant is paroxetine hydrochloride. It is available under the names Paxil, Paxil CR, Pexeva, and Seroxat. Paxil is a form of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that serves to correct chemical imbalances in the brain due to decreased levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is said to maintain positive emotions.

Since Paxil was released in the U.S, various dangerous side effects have been associated with this drug. Some of the major side effects may occur when a patient stops taking Paxil. Paxil withdrawal has been associated with suicidal thoughts, self-harm, depression and anxiety. Paxil is know to cause an increased risk in birth defects, particularly when a baby is exposed to Paxil through his or her mother during the first trimester of the pregnancy.
