What are side effects of taking of changing meds as PaxilCR to Paroxetine?
My prescription for PaxilCR at 37.5 mg has been changed to a generic drupParoxetine at 20 mg.My concern is how I will feel after making that switch.
Answers:
My husband made the same switch and he had no changes of any kind.
Ah, finally, something I know about! You won't have any side effects from just switching. If you stop taking it all together, now that's a different story. I made the exact same change a few years ago. You may want to take the paroxitene twice a day for a week or so. once in the morning and once at night. The only difference is that the CR, which is controlled release, worked all day. The paroxtine is only a single dose. I recently went from taking 20mg of paroxitene twice a day to 20mg once a day. I have not have any side effects from it. You'll be ok, but you may need to take it twice a day at first.
Paxil IS paroxetine. It's just like using Tylenol or using Acetaminophen. Same chemical, different name.
They are the same thing, paroxetine is the generic name, and Paxil is a brand name the same chemical compound.
