Medications use: I think you are asking for carbamezipime which is used for seizures, nerve pain and bipolar disorder.
Paroxetine is used for treatment of depression.

No: Melanosis coli is seen on colonoscopy. It describes the appearance of the colon in patients who have been abusing anthraquinone laxatives. These laxatives stain the wall of the colon after weeks of abuse.

How do you know when you don't need to take the Paxil (paroxetine) pill no more?

Under doctors advice: Paxil (paroxetine) is an effective antidepressant medication. When no longer depressed, and when utilizing another treatment method (counseling, exercise, meditation, self help reading, etc.), and having taken the Paxil (paroxetine) for at least 4 months, and no major holidays or anniversaries of significant or traumatic events are approaching and you have your doctor's permission and supervision, it is ok to taper off.

A member asked:
Is it safe to stop taking Paxil (paroxetine) after using it for 10 years?
2 doctor answers • 8 doctors weighed in

Dr. Peter Corrado answered
Family Medicine 41 years experience
Possibly yes: Although not an addictive substance like a narcotic, suddenly stopping a drug like Paxil (paroxetine) after long term use can cause problems. It is best to discuss this with your doctor and work out a schedule to withdraw the medication gradually from your body. This will avoid sudden reoccurance of symptoms for which the medication was given in the first place.
