Paroxetine (Paxil, Brisdelle) is used to treat depression. It may also be used to treat anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic attacks, post traumatic stress, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It is slightly more popular than comparable drugs. It is available in generic and brand versions. Generic paroxetine is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower.
