This is how Paxxet (Paroxetine) can change your day
Paxt works in the body gradually, but quite a few patients report that they feel initial relief within a few weeks of starting use. ⏳ This may manifest itself in a reduction in feelings of stress, help with concentration, and a general improvement in mood. When you start the day with more peace, both small and large tasks become much easier. After the use of the drug stabilizes in the body, many say that anxiety attacks become rarer, and depression becomes less severe. This allows for a gradual return to continuous functioning and the ability to enjoy social and family interactions.
A scientific explanation of the mechanism of action of Paxt
Paxt contains the active ingredient paroxetine, which is used as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). After taking it, the drug is absorbed mainly in the digestive system and broken down in the liver into metabolic products that can be eliminated. In the central nervous system, paroxetine inhibits the reuptake of serotonin (a chemical responsible, among other things, for improving mood) into the cells that transmit it. This causes an increase in the amount of serotonin available in the synapses (the spaces between nerve cells), thereby reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. This unique mechanism allows for a lasting improvement in mood, unlike other active ingredients that work on different sites in the brain.
How to use correctly?
- Adult dosages: In most cases, you will start with a dose of 20 mg per day. Sometimes, similar to the "Atent Dosage for Adults" guidelines, your doctor may recommend a personalized dosage depending on your condition. It is customary to increase the dosage gradually as needed and not to exceed 50 mg per day (⚠️ Maximum dosage in accordance with the Ministry of Health guidelines).
- Dosages for children: Paxt is not usually given to young children. However, in specific cases, the doctor may consider this based on age and weight, and determine an individual dosage.
- Recommended times: Can be taken in the morning or evening, depending on your doctor's recommendation. If you tend to suffer from insomnia, you should consider taking it in the morning.
- With or without food: It is recommended to take with food to reduce gastrointestinal side effects, but it is not an absolute must.

Tips to help you get the most out of Paxt
• If you experience difficulty falling asleep, it is recommended to take the medication in the morning and minimize your consumption of caffeinated beverages in the evening.
• If you feel nauseous, you can try taking the medicine with a light meal and gradually adjust to it. Sometimes, spreading meals throughout the day helps reduce feelings of discomfort.
When should it not be used?
Paxet (Paroxetine) should not be taken in cases of known sensitivity to the active ingredient (paroxetine) or to any of the accompanying ingredients of the drug. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is important to consult your doctor before starting treatment. Also, in the case of underlying liver or kidney diseases, it is recommended to share this with your doctor, since the drug is mainly cleared through the liver and the dosage may need to be adjusted. Those who use additional psychiatric medications, especially drugs from the MAOI family, are required to consult a specialist before starting treatment.
Dangerous combinations
Be careful when combining Paxt with medications or foods that may interact. ⚠️ For example, avoid taking other antidepressants (such as MAOIs) at the same time without medical approval. Also, excessive use of alcoholic beverages may worsen side effects. If you are taking other prescription medications, it is always recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist about any possible interactions.
