SSRI's: Al have the same mechanism of action and relative potency. The key to effective treatment is getting the perfect fit with medication and patient. And all of these meds will lose efficacy at some point due to tolerance, so continue to work with your doctor to maintain the proper therapy.

DIFFERENT EMPHASIS: If Paxil (paroxetine) helps you without causing side effects that creat greater problems, don't worry about potency. Takeit ant let it help. If it is causing problems tell your dr. Team efforts work when the players share information. Also remember that ssris are not the only anti-depressants. Maybe you need something elswe. Consider reevaluating.
