Is paroxitene safe and effective for severe anxiety thanks?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Considered effective: But with all meds, there is a potential downside. Sexual dysfunction amongst the most often cited, bit also high blood pressure, headache, agitation, weight gain, impaired memory, paresthesia, and decreased fertility. Speak at length with you doctor. With medicines one must always make the risk:benefit ratio analysis. Good luck!
