Do You Have a Paxil Addiction? Treatment Centers Help You Recover
Paxil is a selective serotonin uptake inhibitor that was introduced in the 1990s.
When Paxil is used correctly, and in the appropriate dosages, it’s been shown to be very effective in helping to treat patients who need it. It’s actually one of the most frequently prescribed SSRIs on the market. Today, more people are on anti-depressant drugs than ever before. As much as 10% of all Americans take at least one of them every day as a way to cope with a host of issues, including:
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Bipolar disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Menstrual difficulties
- Clinical depression
- Anxiety disorders and panic attacks
When Paxil is taken outside of its prescribed guidelines, or when it’s taken when it’s not really needed, it can become addiction and result in Paxil withdrawal symptoms when it’s discontinued. If you believe you might be addicted to Paxil, you may want to consider Paxil addiction treatment as a way to recover.
Your Paxil Abuse and Paxil Addiction Symptoms
Because Paxil is a prescription medication, people tend to think that it’s addictive potential isn’t really all that serious. Even so, there have been studies done on Paxil, and they’ve all concluded that when this medication was used to help manage stress, or when it was used to treat situational depression or mild anxiety, the addictive risks associated with it were very real, indeed. You may be abusing Paxil without realizing it, and if so, it’s very likely that you could develop an addiction to it.
Some of the most common Paxil addiction symptoms include:
- Using Paxil as a way to cope with depressive episodes
- Digestive problems like diarrhea
- Excessive sweating
- Bouts of insomnia
- Chronic headache

Paxil Withdrawal Symptoms
Prescription medications like Paxil are not considered to be addictive. However, Paxil withdrawal symptoms often result for a fair percentage of the people who use them. This, of course, leads people back to using Paxil to get some relief, even when they no longer need it. Some of the most common Paxil withdrawal symptoms might include:
- Ongoing and severe insomnia
- Upset stomach with nausea and vomiting
- Body aches and pains
- Chronic fatigue
- Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
It’s important to note that it’s not uncommon for people who are addicted to Paxil to experience even worse side effects. Serotonin syndrome is one example, and this can be life-threatening if it’s left untreated. When serotonin is suddenly increased in the body, the result can an increased heart rate, blood pressure fluctuations and other dangerous symptoms.
It’s best to stop taking Paxil in a controlled environment where you can be monitored properly. Some of the best Paxil rehab programs in the Pacific Northwest are available to help you.
