No, Paxil (paroxetine) is not a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). It is classified as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which means it primarily works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake. MAOIs, on the other hand, inhibit the action of the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which breaks down neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
