Paroxetine

Typically, it is taken once daily with food and water. The full benefits of paroxetine may take 4 to 6 weeks to fully set in. Common side effects include upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, dizziness, and insomnia. Avoid alcohol while taking paroxetine because it is a powerful depressant. Do not take paroxetine if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning on becoming pregnant because it can harm the fetus. 

Make sure to also inform your doctor and/or pharmacist of all other medications (including over-the-counter drugs and supplements) you are taking to prevent drug interactions. This paragraph is only an overview, and it is not intended to replace medical counseling; please consult your pharmacist and/or medical provider for more comprehensive information.
