GENERIC PAXIL IS NOW AVAILABLE AT UP TO 46% SAVINGS A Health Canada approved generic version (Paroxetine Hydrochloride)of GlaxoSmithKline's Paxil is now available at 46% savings! A generic drug is a medication for which the original manufacturer has lost patent protection. Because of this, other manufacturers are allowed to produce and sell the exact medication at a lower more competitive price. The generic drug is the exact same medication as the original brand name drug, simply made by another company. Due to strict regulations on the generic drug industry, these drugs must provide the same therapeutic effect as the brand name drug.  Paroxetine Hydrochloride relieves a variety of emotional problems. It can be prescribed for serious, continuing depression that interferes with a person’s ability to function. Symptoms of this type of depression often include changes in appetite and sleep patterns, a persistent “low” mood, loss of interest in people and activities, decreased sex drive, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, suicidal thoughts, difficulty concentrating, and slowed thinking.  Paroxetine Hydrochloride is also used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a disease marked by unwanted, but stubbornly persistent thoughts, or unreasonable rituals a person feels compelled to repeat.  In addition, Paroxetine Hydrochloride is prescribed for panic disorder, a crippling emotional problem characterized by sudden attacks of at least four of the following symptoms: palpitations, sweating, shaking, numbness, chills or hot flashes, shortness of breath, a feeling of choking, chest pain, nausea or abdominal distress, dizziness or faintness, feelings of unreality or detachment, fear of losing control, or fear of dying.  Paroxetine Hydrochloride may be prescribed for generalized anxiety disorder, a disease marked by excessive anxiety and worry that persists for at least 6 months and can't be easily controlled. True cases of generalized anxiety disorder are accompanied by at least three of the following symptoms: restlessness or a keyed-up or on-edge feeling, a tendency to tire easily, difficulty concentrating or spells when the mind goes blank, irritability, muscle tension, or sleep disturbance.  Paroxetine Hydrochloride can also be prescribed in the treatment of social anxiety disorder (also known as social phobia), a condition marked by shyness or stage fright so intense that it interferes with an individual's work and social life.  Paroxetine Hydrochloride is available in 10, 20 and 30mg.
