A member asked:

Does paroxetine (paxil,seroxat) cause gas in stomach and intestine? please, need some answers?

Yes: Nausea, loose stool or gaseousness are common, but cease soon. There is Serotonin in the Gut, which is acted upon by SSRIs like Paxil (paroxetine). Dose is reduced, if it persists or occasionally change to a different drug is recommended.

Paroxetine: in a study, gas was seen twice as often in paroxetine use than with placebo. However, it was not a common side effect - seen in only 4% of the population.
