Drug
Uses
Paxil
- Paroxitine is an agent in a newer class of antidepressant medication
known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Depression
and anxiety disorders might be caused by a chemical imbalance
in the brain. One of these chemicals is serotonin, which helps
send electrical signals from one nerve cell to another. In the
process, serotonin is released from one nerve cell (the sender)
and travels to the next (the receiver), where it is either absorbed
or returns back to the original sender cell.
