What are some common medications for anxiety panic?
NEVER try to treat anxiety panic attacks yourself; always consult your doctor! For anxiety panic, doctors typically prescribe (selective) serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as Prozac, Paxil, Luvox, etc., but each person reacts differently.
Which medications are best for anxiety and depression?
fluoxetine (Prozac) sertraline (Zoloft) paroxetine (Paxil) fluvoxamine (Luvox) citalopram (Celexa) escitalopram (Lexapro)
What are the differences with Prozac replacing Paxil?
If you quit cold turkey, Paxil has withdrawal symptoms that are flu-like. Prozac doesn't have any withdrawal symptoms. That's why I switched.

Is Lexapro an antipsychotic drug?
No.Lexapro (escitalopram) is an antidepressant of the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) type similar to Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil.
What are commonly used SSRIs?
Commonly used selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), and fluvoxamine (Luvox).
You are considering taking Paxil or zoloft for anxiety which is better?
I have not tried Paxil but I know from experience with Lexapro, is that it works very well. Trying to come off of it is the challenge. I got extreme dizziness and nausea. Although, that lasted a few weeks then it surpassed and I'm back to normal. Lexapro worked great for me and I strongly recomment it.
Can Paxil be taken in early morning?
Most people do take the SSRI drugs in the morning. Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft often have the side effect of making you more alert and wide-awake. People often have trouble sleeping if they take these drugs right before bed. However, it really does not matter, and if you have no troublesome side effects, you can take your Paxil whenever you wish.
Can you take Prozac and Paxil together?
Taking Prozac (fluoxetine) and Paxil (paroxetine) together is generally not recommended due to the increased risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition caused by excessive serotonin levels in the brain. Both medications are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and can amplify each other’s effects. If you are considering this combination for treatment, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized assessment and guidance.
