A member asked:

Will the side effects associated with taking paxil (paroxetine) cr (controlled release) disappear over time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: That would depend on what the side effect is and how long u have been on the medication. Many treatment emergent side effects such as nausea or headache will resolve over a few days. Other side effects that may come on later, such as loss of sex drive may persist. Please speak to you doctor if your symptoms do not improve.
