Paroxetine or paroxetine hydrochloride is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. It was released in 1992 by the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline and has since become one of the most prescribed antidepressants on the market due to its efficacy in treating depression as well as a spectrum of anxiety disorders ranging from panic attacks to phobias.
Paroxetine has been linked to suicidal ideation and attempts, particularly in children and young adults. It also has a demonstrated withdrawal syndrome, in which some users experience dizziness, electric shock-like sensations, and gastro-intestinal upset.
