Paxil Information:
Suicidal thoughts are not uncommon when first taking an
antidepressant such as Paxil or Zoloft, primarily in persons younger than 24

at least the first 12 weeks of treatment.
Seek immediate medical attention if you have any new or worsening
symptoms such as: mood swings, behavior changes, increased
depression ,anxiety, panic attacks, sleep apnea, or if you feel
impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless,
hyperactive (mentally or physically), or have thoughts about suicide
or hurting yourself. Caution should be used in taking Paxil during pregnancy. However, you may have a relapse of depression if
you stop taking your antidepressant during pregnancy. If you are
planning a pregnancy, or if you become pregnant while taking Paxil,
do not stop taking the medication without first talking to your
doctor.
