What is the use of Paxil?

Paxil (chemically spelled as paroxetine), also known as Prozac (Tofranil), is in the serotonin reuptake antidepressant (SSRI) categories of antidepressants. SSRIs boost the serotonin levels in a person's brain and this improves a person's mood. Paxil is primarily used to treat severe depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder in people. It has also been shown to be effective in treating the sexual dysfunction in men.
