What does Paxil Antidepressant treat?
Paxil is as effective in relieving depression as TCAs such as imipramine. However, Paxil causes fewer adverse cardiovascular and anticholinergic effects (dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention) than the older TCAs. It does not usually cause drowsiness or low blood pressure. Paxil has no active metabolites and leaves one’s system 24 hours after it enters.
