drug_recall paxilWhen a patient experiences a Paxil problem, it is important for them to notify their doctor as soon as possible before making any changes to their treatment regiment. A patient may experience a Paxil problem for a number of reasons. Some patients with a history of certain health conditions or who are concurrently taking other medications may experience a significant Paxil problem which may require the termination or modification of their treatment. Many patients experience a significant Paxil problem when they attempt to discontinue treatment, because Paxil and other SSRIs (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors) can be addictive. A Paxil overdose may also be the source of a Paxil problem. There are also serious side effects of this prescription medication that can cause a serious Paxil problem.
A Paxil problem may be more likely in patients with a history of certain medical conditions. People with glaucoma, a history of seizures, kidney or liver problems, or a condition affecting their circulation may not be good candidates for Paxil use. People who have had an adverse reaction to similar medications may also be in danger of suffering a significant Paxil problem. Children under eighteen, patients over sixty and those who are pregnant or breast feeding may not be appropriate for Paxil use. If these patients are put on Paxil, they should be carefully monitored for a Paxil problem.
A Paxil problem may also involve serious physical side effects that may occur without warning. A patient who experiences any of the following Paxil problem symptoms should seek medical attention immediately: allergic reaction, irregular heartbeat, low or high blood pressure, unusually bleeding or bruising, fever or chills. Other symptoms of a Paxil problem may be less serious, but if they are bothersome, a patient may wish to contact their medical practitioner.
A Paxil problem may also be the result of overdose, or conversely withdrawal. A Paxil overdose can be a serious medical event during which a person can suffer from the following symptoms: dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, sweating, tremors, vomiting, facial flush, seizures, coma, and acute renal failure. A patient who is suspected to be overdosing on Paxil should receive immediate medical attention. To avoid the Paxil problem of an overdose, it is important to take Paxil how it is prescribed and never take a double dose unless recommended by a physician. Another serious Paxil problem is Paxil withdrawal. Paxil is a habit forming medication which may be difficult to stop taking. Patients may experience adverse Paxil withdrawal symptoms for one to three months after terminating treatment.
There are other serious Paxil problems that can severely affect the quality of a patient''s mental health. A Paxil problem may be caused by a serious adverse psychological side effect. Paxil has been shown to cause or worsen a patient''s depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, and hallucinations and delusions. A serious Paxil problem called akathisia can increase a person''s risk of aggressive, violent, or suicidal behaviors. Akathisia is characterized by extreme agitation, loss of impulse control, and uncomfortable internal sensations.
