This type of drug is known as an SSRI, which is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that has the ability to alleviate many of the symptoms that are commonly caused by various forms of depression. There are many physicians that prescribe this medicine to relieve symptoms of panic attacks, OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder. The way in which this type of drug works is it causes a healthy balance to be restored to neurotransmitters or natural chemicals that include serotonin that are located within the brain. Paroxetine is a SSRI antidepressant that can greatly improve an individual’s sleeping patterns, their level of energy, appetite, their mood, and overall sense of well-being.
