drug_recall paxilSince Paxil was first approved for use in the United States in 1993, there have been a number of Paxil warnings presented to caution patients against the potentially harmful effects of taking this prescription drug. There are four general areas where Paxil warnings apply: warnings about who should not take Paxil, general warnings for patients taking Paxil, Paxil warnings about potential side effects, and Paxil warnings about withdrawal symptoms that may occur with the discontinuation of treatment.
Paxil is a drug that is prescribed to treat the following emotional problems: depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and social anxiety disorder. Paxil is manufactured by pharmaceutical giant, GlaxoSmithKline who has sold over 70 million prescriptions of Paxil in the last decade with a profit margin of approximately three billion dollars annually.
Paxil warnings caution people about who should not take Paxil for the treatment of the aforementioned conditions. Paxil warnings show that taking this drug may have harmful effects on fetal development. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take Paxil. People with a history of kidney, liver, or seizure problems may also not be good candidates for Paxil. Paxil warnings caution against the use of this medication in people who have experienced adverse reactions to Paxil or other drugs of its class. People who have taken an MAO Inhibitor within the last fourteen days should also not take Paxil.
Paxil warnings also caution patients who are currently taking Paxil. Paxil warnings indicate that consuming alcohol or any other substances or prescription drugs may cause an adverse reaction in Paxil patients. Paxil warnings indicate that patients over the age of 60 should receive a lower dose of Paxil and be carefully monitored for unfavorable health reactions. Patients who are going under anesthesia in the few months following the onset of Paxil treatment are also cautioned to discuss this with their doctor. All Paxil warnings should be considered when deciding if Paxil might be helpful for you.
Paxil warnings also pertain to the potential for serious side effects and withdrawal symptoms that can be caused by taking this medication. Paxil warnings caution patients that the following mental conditions can actually be caused or worsened through Paxil use: mania, depression, obsessions and compulsions, and anxiety. Paxil use and withdrawal can also produce a state of akathisia where a patient suffers the loss of impulse and motor control causing intense internal sensations of anxiety and agitation.
Paxil warnings include the following symptoms as potential effects of taking or stopping Paxil: dizziness, electric “zaps” in the brain and rest of body, nausea, sweating, headaches, insomnia, vivid dreams, severe mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and more. Paxil warnings also indicate that serious health problems could accompany a Paxil overdose. Any patient who is taking Paxil should be aware of Paxil warnings and seek immediate medical attention if they experience any adverse health symptoms while taking Paxil.
