Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am taking Paxidep 12.5 daily from last one and half year as prescribed by the doctor. It cures my uncontrolled thought and panic attacks. Now sometime I feel shocks in my head. I also want to know that, is there any side effect of this medicine after long time use?

Answered by Dr. K. V. Anand

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Paxidep-Cr 12.5 mg tablet is a medicine that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) group. It is used for the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, and other anxiety disorders. There are many side effects for these medicines, including suicidal thoughts, irregular heartbeat, shaking of hands, etc. But shocks inside the head is not a common side effect. You should talk to your psychiatrist regarding this and get the medicine changed if there is a need.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
