Question

Answer 1

Carbamazepine?: Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant that is also useful as a mood stabilizer. Paroxetine is an ssri antidepressant. The combination could be used in bipolar disorder.

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.

Answer 4

Not sure : Usually the discoloration results from laxative use.

Answer 5

Paxil (paroxetine): Not likely, no.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

Taper down: The maximization of antidepressant use is a long subject to address. Firstly, do not stop any medication without consulting the prescribing physician. If you feel functionally stable & have been able to sustain this over time, then a discussion with the prescriber is warranted. There are may factors to consider before stopping. Always gradually taper down if cessation is the agreed upon goal.

Answer 8

Rapid withdrawl paxi: Yes, that is a possibility. Stopping Paxil (paroxetine) and other anti-depressants suddenly can cause a great many symptoms, and headache is one of them. You should call your doctor who prescribed this medication and discuss your current problem.

Answer 9

Serotonin DC: Abrupt discontinuation of some medications that work on serotonin can cause considerable problems in some people - not all. More typical symptoms include: malaise (washed out), disconnected feeling, nausea, irritability, insomnia, headaches, brain zaps, dizziness, and even confusion. They can begin immediately or if longer half-life, weeks later. Not life-threatening or cause of psychosis. Taper.

Answer 10

Weight gain: Ssri's like Paxil (paroxetine) can cause weight gain, dizziness, toouch or too little sleep, among other side effects.

Answer 11

Many possible: Paxil (paroxetine) may have many side effects. The most common I have seen are weight gain and sedation. Also, some patients have problems with "withdrawal" when discontinuing paxil (paroxetine). Your doctor should discuss possible side effects before prescribing the meds. If you want more information, ask your pharmacist for a medication information sheet.

Answer 12

Pasil is not indicat: Paxil, (paroxetine) a ssri, is primarily indicated for depression and anxiety. It has many side effects which makes it a difficult agent to use. These include GI irritation, sexual side effects, anticholinergic side effects, and hyperhydrosis. It is extremely difficult to discontinue often requiring long periods of titration to avoid strange physical symptoms including sensations like electric shocks in lim.

Answer 13

SSRI side effects: Paxil (paroxetine) is a typical selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Side effects are typically stomach upset, nausea, diarhea. These are ususally temporary as people get used to them. Some decreased libido and delayed orgasm is also common. Paxil (paroxetine) has more withdrawal symptoms of dizziness if a day is missed. Also there are several drug interactions that are not true of other ssri.

Answer 14

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.

Answer 15

Talk to your doctor!: I'm hoping that the symptoms for which you originally needed paroxetine for have gotten better making you have thoughts of wanting to stop taking it. I would encourage you to speak with your provider to safely taper off of this medication. Some antidepressants (especially paroxetine) can have a pretty uncomfortable withdrawal if not tapered down correctly. Best to do stop this medication safely.
