Question 1

can paxil (paroxetine) make me last longer in bed ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe yes- maybe no: There is a possibility for longer erection as a side effect of paxil, (paroxetine) but it does not have this effect on all men.

Question 2

what are the side effects of paxil (paroxetine) used long term ?

Accepted Answer

None: If you are tolerating it and responding to it then there is nothing wrong with being on it indefinitely. There are no known long term side effects and it has been around for a long time. I usually try to stop it 1-2 years after the first episode. With recurrent episodes i recommend staying on it.

Question 3

i was taking paxil (paroxetine) 25 for 7 years no longer works dr put dose up to 37.5  can i get side effects?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: but unlikely, as ur system has adjusted to this medication. The only way truly know is to try it.

Question 4

what are the long term effects of taking paxil, (paroxetine) lorazapam?

Accepted Answer

Lorezapam: If taking lorezapam daily, you run the risk of developing a tolerance to the med, which means the benefit of tge med has lessened compared to when it was started. This generally results in a higher dose being prescribed. You will eventually become physically dependent on the med, meaning if stopped suddenly significant withdrawal will occur.

Question 5

after i started taking paxil (paroxetine) my memory is sharper and i am having vivid memories of my childhood. what is the impact of paxil (paroxetine) on long term memory?

Accepted Answer

Long term memory: Paxil (paroxetine) can cause moderate to severe memory loss. The loss seems to be worse if there is acomorbid problem such as hypertension. The memory appears to be reversible, once the medicine is stopped.

Question 6

i have been on paxil 7.yrs now it was wrkg no longer is having severe panic again my dr wants me to switch to effexor (venlafaxine) just like that is that ok?

Accepted Answer

8 people 8 reactions: Your provider should know what there is to know about this decision.  Or find out on your behalf as much as possible. I've heard reports of all sorts, so you can't expect to be just like anyone else. Expectancy matters (alot!) so, expect the best. But if you have a problem, report it ASAP and work together to solve it. That's why it's good to have a relationship of trust. All these meds are quirky

Question 7

i don't intend on taking anxiety/ depr. meds long term. side effects concern me. will i be ok? is klonopin and paxil (paroxetine) very strong compared to others?

Accepted Answer

You should be fine: Make sure that you are also in psychotherapy, that you get plenty of exercise.  Make sure that you keep a strong social support network. Never stop your medications without discussing your physician's plans for you and also make sure you understand that you need to come off of them that they are tapered extremely slowly. Both clonopin and Paxil (paroxetine) must be tapered very slowly.

Question 8

i'm starting taking paxil, (paroxetine) lamictal for my gad and non specified mood disorder and i want to know if there's  any long term side effects?

Accepted Answer

Liver disease: Paxil has a long list of drugs , including SSRIs, SNRIs, Buspar, Tramadol, Metoprolol, MAOIs, Phenothiazines, Abilify, (aripiprazole) Atomoxetine,etc. that are  detoxified through the liver and so the liver function studies have to be drawn (Complete metabolic profile) at least twice a year to check this. I don't know about Lamictal but I would suggest the same test since it also passes through the liver.

Question 9

i had serotonin syndrome after being given zyvox while on 40 mg of paxil (paroxetine) six years ago.  what are long term effects?  i still do not feel like myself.

Accepted Answer

None likely: No likely long term side effects.

Question 10

i ask a ? earlier about premature  ejectalation  and wanting to last longer  while making love! and was  told about paxil, effexor, (venlafaxine) and prozac! not depr

Accepted Answer

SSRI's and climax: In many people, ssri antidepressants have the side effect of delayed orgasm.  In some this would not be desirable. But it's possible the doctors were telling you about an off-label use of ssri's that could delay your own climax, since that's what you were requesting.  There are non-pharmacological approaches also -- a marital & sexual therapist could assess your situation & help.
