I've been taking paroxetine for a few days now because of my depression (wich is not always so bad, but i am always so tired especially in the morning and when the wether is bad). I wonder wich effect paroxetine has on people who are not depressed, will they feel a change also, because their serotonine level is not disturbed? And do they have withdrawal symptons too?
Answer:
Paroxetine (Seroxat, Paxil) made me extremely sleepy for a week or two and then felt much better. It has no effect on normal people, I believe. It has notorious withdrawal symptoms, it is important to come off it very slowly and carefully. It also notoriously sends people with manic depression manic. However I found it to be a very effective anti-depressant, and I took it for six months (until I went manic!) The idea that antidepressants are a specific treatment for a disease is a popular bit of pharmacomythology. Doctors compound this by telling their patients things like this, usually with vague references to a "chemical imbalance" (it is never specified what the chemicals are, in what way they are imbalanced, what would constitute "balance," or, most glaringly, how the physician can possibly know with certainty that a "chemical imbalance" exists in the brain without doing a single neurochemical test -- imagine how you'd react if your doctor told you that your liver enzymes were dangerously high based on nothing more than chatting with you). Antidepressants are drugs that affect neurotransmitter function. They have exactly the same neurochemical effect in anyone who takes them. Everyone has neurotransmitters, everyone's neurons have re-uptake pumps, and everyone's neurotransmitters will be affected by (for example) paroxetine. Paroxetine is not like an antibiotic that selectively wipes out a pathogen.
