People who suffer from depression and other similar mental health conditions are often deficient in serotonin. Paxil (paroxetine hydrochloride) is used to treat depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Paxil is in a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It works by helping to restore the balance of serotonin in the brain. This medication may improve a person’s mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level. It may help restore a person’s interest in daily living. Paxil may also decrease anxiety, fear, unwanted thoughts, and the frequency of panic attacks. It has been known to lessen premenstrual symptoms such as irritability, increased appetite, and depression.
